Stagtime Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 It was a moving ANZAC day dawn service this morning with everyone out in the driveways with candles this year instead of the Avenue of Honour. In case you don’t know ANZAC day is our equivalent of Remembrance Day. April 25 1915 marks the anniversary of the first major military action of Australian and New Zealand troops when they landed at dawn at Gallipoli Turkey. My father who was born in Derby served his adopted country in both Malaya and Vietnam. So today I will raise a toast to all the current and ex servicemen around the world to thank them for their Sacrifice for their respective countries. Lest we forget. Dad returning home from Vietnam 1968 and a replica copy of his service medals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ariotofmyown Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I saw a great bbc drama called Anzacs when I was a kid. Was probably start of the 90s. Was one of the first things I saw when lots of characters get killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
