ANZAC DAY. 2013 

i see them as brothers and sisters, and i can say with pride and honour, i wouldnt want to have any other people to call our brothers and sisters! long live the ANZACs and long live the great bond between our two countries!

Thank you very much for your feelings. across the world live together. past hard but left on our tracks. IF you believe that the Day of Judgment, God convinced the same in this world to live together need to know. Because God is one.

Respect from Canada. Lest We Forget.

it brings a tear to my eye every year i hear that read out....

Here in Australia, the local Toronto RSL has included the New Zealand element into ANZAC Day for the last 3 years. Was good to be included.

Emotional. Thanks for sharing.

very interesting stuff. thanks for sharing ted.

I drove the 58 search light girls(ww2 vets) in the Adelaide parade and it was a blast the youngest was 88 and the oldest 92 and they marched all the way as soon as the march was over i drove them all to the pub(under orders) Its the most important day of the year bar none.

Ted i perfectly agree, it is a nice touch, and will now push myself into contacting my local RSL subbranch to ensure that God Defend New Zealand is played at our local gathering aswell.... as you said, but changed up, you cant spell ANZAC without the NZ!

Just getting home from dawn service here in Australia then down to the RSL to have a few beers with the other boys.

Thanks for sharing that. Kids now a days don't appreciate or know anything about either war. They just don't care

Lest we forget.

Looks like it was a wonderful day.

Atatürk wrote "Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives... You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side now here in this country of ours... you, the mothers, who sent their sons from faraway countries wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land. They have become our sons as well."

My Dad used to say (WWll, Pattons 3rd Armored) "There are no living heros or dead cowards."

Lest we forget

Nice vid Ted 2 of my Great Grandfathers fought in the 28th Maori Battalion. Proud to be a kiwi mate, Forever Onward

Australia could not ask for a better friend in New Zealand. Aussies and the Kiwi's side by side through thick and thin ANZAC's

We have NOTHING like that here anymore, just a few Veterans that decorate the odd memorial - to everyone else its an excuse to get drunk or go shopping - Neither my Father nor myself know why we bothered to put on the uniform.

ted and others, what was the maori blowing on, the horn of sorts? it looked like a didgeridoo but didnt sound like it

You said it right kid. I am happy that you like history. Yes you're considered a kid :) sorry but true but not like most kids. Should I say most kids don't care about history WWI or II plus the history. I know a kid. we were watching pearl harbor. Near the end she said when are they throwing in the tea. The fricking tea. I gave up then

Well he was videoing this i was in Christchurch getting vomited on at the dawn service.

List some people still alive from your military era that you think they are lucky to still be walking around. Do you remember Murdock?

Celebrating failed military campaigns kind of sums up modern Western impotence in my view.
