ANZAC Day, 2009


Dawn service, Memorial Cross, Mt Macedon, 25th April, 2009
(The picture is blurry, because I took it and it was before Dawn!)


They went with songs to the battle, they were young.
Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.
They shall grow not 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 morning,
We will remember them.
"Ode of Remembrance" Taken from the fourth stanza of Laurence Binyon's poem For the Fallen
Lest We Forget


from the Macedon Ranges Leader
