My family lost two brave young service men in France in WW1, and a third when he couldn't live with his memories upon his return to Australia.

This year I didn't make a Dawn Service, but  did watch the televised ANZAC March in my home city.


Lest We Forget.


And may all those serving in troublespots around the world stay safe.

Let's not also forget the men who came back from war missing limbs and shellshocked who had to entirely change their lives and assimilate back in to a society that ostracised some of them...the changed men, who's families would not talk about it...we forget about those who came back alive but felt dead....

Let's think of them to.

Went to the Dawn Service today.  I always find it very moving.

The rain actually held off for the duration of the service.

Remembering Great Uncle Harry -  K.I.A. France, 1st Oct 1917.  Lest we forget.

Cheers, Chris

Lest we forget.

My father was at Gallipoli , then in France.

 One of my brothers died in RAAF over Germany and another fought in the Middle East and PNG.

Remembering all those who didn't return home - and all those who did - with very grateful thanks to every one of them.
