Just watching the Sydney Anzac march the Royal Navy service men that stayed here after the 2 WW just went through. My Dad George Cooper would have been one of these had he lived.

Lest we forget

ANZAC day game at the MCG, blockbuster, played in the spirit.
Played the last post then 90,000 people stood for 1 minute silence.
You could hear a pin drop.
So beautiful.
Record crowds at marches and dawn services.
Wonderful to see the young ones waving their flags.
On this day, we remember every man, woman and child who died in many wars from every country.
"At the going down of the sun"

Missed this thread....very nice...

The men from Aus did go,
And little did they know,
What horrors were in store
For some they were no more.

Blazed in the colour gold,
They sailed with spirits bold,
To fight with other foe
How were they meant to know.

Cut down in there prime,
Now standing tall in time,
The bugles playing loud,
For a nation...oh so proud.
