Title: ANZAC Day 2019
Post by: Hairs on April 24, 2019, 09:28:58 PM: I shall attend the dawn service in Lawrence, as we have for many years, and the years we were camped we still held our own remembrance.
Thank you.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190424/33d28d8bba3c2e1b32d8d889dda852e5.jpg)

Nothing more important than teaching our kids about the ANZACS and other servicemen and woman.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them!!!

We are a small communitty, some 100 odd people attended. For the first time this year we joined those that marched for breakfast afterwards at the Lawrence Tavern.
A memorable morning.

just after our local dawn service ended we were greeted with a beautiful sunrise...was some nice pink in the sky between the broken clouds, my eldest daughter actually noticed it first and pointed it out to me.

Only found out a couple of years ago that my Great Uncle was one of the earlier ones to sign up in 1914 for the 10th light horse.
Lest We Forget.
