My children know about and attend Anzac services annually.

A peaceful Anzac Day to all Mom’s members and their families.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and for raising awareness of this book.

I think quite a lot of schools are getting the Anzac story and it’s significance to the kids.. There are quite a few secondary school students going to Gallipoli on a pilgrimage so don’t lose heart. When my dear dad was alive we used to go to Wangaratta and still do ] to his annual Rats of Tobruk reunion weekend and at the dinner when they played The Last Post that sent shivers down my spine and always will! The verse you have used above also has the same effect on me. It is sad though some don’t really care about the Anzacs. I can remember when I was a kid in grade 6 [ I am 67 now ] there were a bunch of kids laughing and joking during a ceremony at school. I felt really angry and saddened. They were punished by the principal but these days that would not be allowed.
