Remembrance Day 2010
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 morning,
We will remember them

Afternoon Bruce,
Have just checked the Sydney TV guide, unless I missed something, not a thing.
Even Google have a red poppy.
The good news, a mate of mine, Vietnam Veterans Association, went into Sydney this morning on behalf of a fellow veteran, ex machine gunner. A TPI pension has been awarded to him.
Cheers Mark

Re: Remembrance Day 2010
A bugler played the last post in the middle of a Perth city intersection this morning.
Traffic stopped while he played.
We will remember them.

Hard to think of any human behaviour lower than this;

Shouldn't be hard to catch this scumbag but when they do he will probably be "sentenced" to a few hours community service.

Re: Remembrance Day 2010
I stopped at the Ohio Veterans Home this morning just to say thank you.
Some of these go back to the Civil War.

I don't know if anything took place in town here (Narrogin) but I half-masted my flag for the day and did some remembering...

Re: Remembrance Day 2010
Court stopped for the 'customary' 11/11 adjournment and I went outside where quite a number had gathered. A bugler played .It was good to see that people still remember their sacrifice.
I did not realise we had a vets cemetary in Western Australia. Is it just KIA's from the WA theatre ie Jap raids etc, as during WW1 and WW2 Australia buried their dead in theatre- we did not bring bodies home (other than for one General now buried at Duntroon I believe).
Although a few have come back from Iraq and Afghanistan and the SAS seem to loose one every now and then as well.

Re: Remembrance Day 2010
LD,
The pic with my original post is of Bomana War Cemetery in PNG. The cemetery contains 3,823 Commonwealth burials of the Second World War, 703 of them unidentified.
There is a small war cemetery in Perth, not far from what was the Hollywood Repat Hospital - now privatised. Presumably it was for those who succumed to wounds/illness while under treatment, accidental deaths and those killed in Jap raids. From memory, some Vietnam KIA/DOW are interred there too.

Oh, they've got no time for glory in the Infantry.
Oh, they've got no use for praises loudly sung.
But in every soldier's heart in all the Infantry
Shines the name, shines the name of Rodger Young.
(Shines the name, Rodger Young!
Fought and died for the men he marched among.
To the everlasting glory of the Infantry.
Lives the story of Private Rodger Young.)
Caught in ambush lay a company of riflemen
Just grenades against machine guns in the gloom.
Caught in ambush till this one of twenty riflemen
Volunteered, volunteered to meet his doom.
Volunteered, Rodger Young!
Fought and died for the men he marched among.
In the everlasting annals of the Infantry
Glows the last deed of Private Rodger Young.
(It was he who drew the fire of the enemy
That a company of men might live to fight.
And before the deadly fire of the enemy
Stood the man, stood the man we hail tonight.)
On the island of New Georgia in the Solomons
Stands a simple wooden cross alone to tell.
That beneath the silent coral of the Solomons
Sleeps a man, sleeps a man remembered well.
Sleeps a man, Rodger Young!
Fought and died for the men he marched among.
In the everlasting spirit of the Infantry
Breathes the spirit of Private Rodger Young.
No, they've got no time for glory in the Infantry.
No, they've got no use for praises loudly sung.
But in every soldier's heart in all the Infantry
Shines the name, shines the name of Rodger Young.
