ANZAC Day
Today is ANZAC Day, we can't work out how to explain the significance of this to Australians to the rest of you, wherever you live.

The Ode of Remembrance

"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".

Our great-uncle had his leg ampuated on this beach, with no anaesthetics or pain killers, they held them down.
Strangely the doctor who had to do this butchery on the beach, was the same doctor who delivered us at birth. He came home & became an obstetrician, but he could never forget.

LEST WE FORGET
