Anzac Day 2019




ANZAC - meaning Australia New Zealand Army Corps. A day us kiwis take each year to remember all of those who fought and died for us in all of the wars our countries have been involved in. It's particularly a day we remember the troops landing in Gallipoli in 1915.

Lest we forget.

Linking up with Skywatch Friday.

I came across the grave of a person who took part and is buried at Lyford church he died in December 1915. A nice place for a memorial

Grandpa was a war artist at Gallipoli...instead of being shot,like the English troops with shellshock/ptsd, he was in the Australian army..and invalided out with "neurasthenia", they figured that with such high casualties there was no sense in killing more...thankfully!

A beautiful and peaceful place for a memorial. Thanks for explaining what ANZAC stands for.

My grandson was down in Crete yesterday with his school and they visited the military museum. There was a large exhibit telling them about the NZ era and Australians who took part in the battle of Crete. There is a huge commonwealth cemetery there as well which will have an Anzac ceremony today

One of the problems with comment moderation is that if one read a post and gets distracted then comes back some hours later you may not be able to recall whether you commented or not. I though (and may have said) that I was going to wear my NZ flag on my lapel today. Anzac Day gets plenty of coverage on our news bulletins in the UK.
