Hi all,
I've set the alarm and am off to the dawn service tomorrow. Its good to see the younger generation getting more and more interested in remembrance and not just a day off.
Cheers Wilko

“Your deeds have won you a place in the Temple of the Immortals. The world has hailed you as heroes. On the shining wings of your glorious valour you have inspired us to a newer and better and nobler concept of life; and the deathless deeds of the valiant dead will yet be sung to generations of Australians to the end of time. The story of the Gallipoli campaign has shown that through self-sacrifice alone can men or a nation be saved. And since it has evoked this pure and noble spirit, who should say that this dreadful war was wholly evil, now that in a world saturated with a lust of material things, comes the sweet, purifying breath of self-sacrifice?”
