Anzac Day

Tomorrow is Anzac Day, a special day for Australians (and Kiwis too for that matter) for it is when they remember their fallen countrymen who have given their lives in the various conflicts around the world.

Services traditionally begin at 4.28 am for that is when the first troops went ashore at Gallipoli, the first serious engagement of Australian troops in world war one.

There is also to be a parade that commences at 10am which is a chance to give support to those who fought in the various conflicts who were safely returned. I am not Australian but i intend to be there to support those who fought for whatever reason and as a mark of respect for my newly adopted home.
