Remembrance Day - For the ANZACS

Tribute to the fallen ANZACS who have served in past and present conflicts around the world. Not all conflicts have been included but the major ones have. At the end is the famous poem "In Flanders Field" by Colonel John McCrae.
The song used is "And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda" sung by Redgum......I then followed this by the last post. LEST WE FORGET.

Those heroes that shed their blood And lost their lives... You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore, rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side, Here in this country of ours.

You, the mothers, who sent their sons from far away countries...

Wipe away your tears. Your sons are now lying in our bosom And are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land, they have

Become our sons as well.

[timewarlord]

@Dookstar69 God bless you and thank you.

People argue and debate the relevance of the great war, the motivations and the bloody sacrifice of millions of young men, our Aussie heroes willing to die for king and country, for the empire. I think the simplest answer is they fought and died for our freedom, democracy and our way of life, anyone who challenges that is most certianly a fool. God Bless them all. Lest we forget.

@SlloydK - my grandad told me so, "if you have ANZACS or Canadians on your flank, the line will hold"..and I saw it with my own eyes in Afghanistan - I'm not interested in anything else that any idiot on youtube has to say on the subject...
