  2. So, Anzac Day again. For the first time in many years, I didn't go to our community commemoration (because I was tired and feeling crook). But, I've always been pretty dubious about it.

    I wrote this piece many years ago and my views haven't changed. I find the media's lead-in coverage rarely questions the need for the wars we commemorate, or the real history behind them, and they gloss over how many of the soldiers didn't have a choice about going to war.

    We need to remember that war is murder and is never the best solution to any problem.

  10. ANZAC day? Juliet, Indiana Jones and I paid a visit to the Fawkner Cemetery ceramic tile memorial mural: “In memory of all who served at home and abroad in times of conflict. “

    It is an inclusive memorial that avoids nationalism and recognises that conflict affects people whether they serve in the defence forces or not, and could equally apply to the frontier wars.

    We paid our respects to those past and present.

  15. Although he was in the British Navy, I now live in NZ so for ANZAC Day I thought I'd post a photo of the actual letter my Grandma received when my Grandad was killed in action in 1941. Includes King's authentic rubber stamp signature. #AnzacDay2023

  28. They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
    Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
    They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted;
    They fell with their faces to the foe.

    They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
    Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the morning

    We will remember them.
