ANZAC DAY

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.”


This line comes from the middle stanza of the poem “For the Fallen”, by Lancaster-born poet Laurence Binyon (1869-1943). [Source.]

Below, is a video of Eric Bogle, an Australian folk singer/songwriter I was lucky enough to go and see with my dad several years ago in Tasmania. I really admire the honesty and integrity with which he delivers his music.
