A very moving piece....I felt a strange shiver down my spine with associated goose bumps when I read it.
ANZAC day is a marvellous institution in both Oz and K1W1land. What I found to be my most moving ANZAC experience was being able to participate in full-up ANZAC ceremonies in the UK such as the Battersea Dawn Service, the march at the Cenotaph and the service at Westminister Abbey....It is a credit to the mother-country that they allow the use of such national icons for the celebration of ANZAC day, which was afterall their disaster! And yes I do know that many UK forces died during the Gallipoli campaign too
