Anzac Day Today

Thanks for the info guys.
Dizaster: it sounds like your family has made great sacrifices in the name of Australia.
My great-grandfather was a Canadian tank commander in WW2, he was wounded twice in action.

It's easy for me to forget as I obviously never met my grandfather... I remember when I was about 7, we went on holidays, and on the way went to a big war memorial building and found their names on the walls there.. The place was filled with thousands and thousands of name..
World Wars were in a way, essential, but such a waste for so many families..

I went to the local dawn service today, plan to make it a regular feature. It's not often we as a society thank people which gave so much for this country at such a high cost.

Lest we forget

In reality they all did it for the whole worlds freedom firstly, but when they arrived and the reality set in ; they all fought more for their mates around them.

My Grandad was a rear gunner in a Lancaster and another type of bomber too, lonely job out there on the tail .

My other Granddad was a truckie out in the sahara and got enphzema from all the dust which took one lung and then his life eventually.
He used to send my gran love poems from the front and they are in the war memorial in Canberra , even though he was in the British army.
