Rememberance Day 2016

[CINDERS]

Once again the 11th hour of the 11th month has come around I paid my respects to those brave souls that went away and continue to go to foreign shores to free the oppressed whilst forcing back the hand of evil and tyranny allowing my family & I a free life, you have my eternal gratitude.

During the First World War Australia had a population of approximately 5 million souls due to the high attrition rate of this war there were very few families in Australia not touched by the hand of war.
When the qualities of our troops were known by the high command it was pretty much a forgone conclusion they would get the difficult nuts to crack, and they were.
Fromelles will always be our forces darkest day for the sheer numbers lost in a single 24 hour action just like ears of wheat the grazing fire from well sited and em-placed MG's took a terrible toll. "The Devils Paintbrush" did its work very well that day.

"We will remember them"
"Lest we forget"
