ANZAC Day 2018

Many years ago, back in 2005, I visited the battlefields of the Western Front in Belgium and northern France. The fields and bleak weather were quiet and barren, but the cemeteries in particular were haunting.


On ANZAC Day 2018 it is right to pause and remember.

I shall be one with the sun, wind and flowers."
