ANZAC Day

[Peter Roberts]

In the parts of the world where it means a lot today is already ANZAC Day. At times I feel, at least here in the UK, that the letters NZ are overlooked. To humbly set the record straight here is a recent image of the commonwealth (imperial as it once was) forces section of a local cemetery. In case you may wonder why these lads are so far from home there were several hospitals in this area established during the Great War specifically for its casualities.

I’m not sure I’d ever heard of ANZAC Day before today, but I understand what the name stands for. Even as a long-standing pacifist, it seems only right to remember those who lost their lives in a war that was not entirely their own and who now rest far from where they were born. A thoughtful photo, @Peter Roberts.
