Friday is Anzac day .

Here are some quotes that are fairly well known but are unattributed quotes they are a part of the Anzac and/or British legacy . I have sourced them just to be on the safe site. The first quote is the most well known.



They shall not grow 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 evening
we will remember them."

If ye break faith with us who die, we shall not sleep, though poppies grow in Flanders fields."

To the people of Le Quesnoy and any other French towns myself and other people appreciate that you remember the Anzacs .


Streets are named after New Zealand places, there is a New Zealand memorial and a primary school bears the name of a New Zealand soldier. Visiting New Zealanders are sure to receive a warm welcome from the locals.

My own personal thoughts are with my grand father who served on the Western Front , My Pa who served in Borneo and My Dad who was in Vietnam . All of them were Diggers .

One Last Thing of Note .

As is traditional Turkey is playing gracious host to thousands of Australian and Kiwi visitors to Anzac Cove . Before any one says the such visitors are good for the tourism dollar you don't see France hosting German tourists who come specify to remember there war dead . So my respects to Turkey in this regard .
