ANZAC Sunday

Lest we forget the hundreds of thousands of Australian and New Zealanders who laid down their lives during WW1 and WW2 so we could live ours in freedom.

They did not need to do so but they fought with us . . . a popular saying was . . " if England needs a hand well here it is " . . . we owe them a lot.

In WW1 416,809 of them died . . . . in WW2 40,500 made the supreme sacrifice . . . . god bless them all.

Thanks for that OG . . . Gallipoli was the brainchild of a certain "Mr Churchill" who should've know better.

Re: ANZAC Sunday

I have a sister in New Zealand, cousins and friends in Aussie land so they will never be forgotten by our family.

Our prayers and thoughts are with them today.

I am always shocked when I see these numbers.

Very good post Denis and as you say we should never forget them.
