ANZAC Day - 2009

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.


Yep, once again its ANZAC Day. when we remember that horrible bloody campaign all those years ago raise a glass for all the poor bastards who copped it at Gallipoli. Proud Diggers one and all, Kiwi and Aussie.

We saw them climb out and move forward about ten yards and lie flat. The second line did likewise ... . As they rose to charge, the Turkish Machine Guns just poured out lead and our fellows went down like corn before a scythe. The distance to the enemy trench was less than 50 yards yet not one of those two lines got anywhere near it. (Lieutenant William Cameron, 9th Light Horse)
