WW1 Aussies in Brightlingsea Essex

[happy daze john in oz]

Tonight on our ABC's 7.30 report the 70th Anniversary of D Day in France. Wars to end all wars come and go and this is just a speck in the overview of the courage, bravery, suffering and kindness of the men and women - and children - during those fearsome times.

onsidereing all the fuss about Anzac day for 2015 there has been little to comemmorate D day here in Oz, wonder what they will do for September 3rd, 75th aniversary of WW2 start?

At least our PM was there, John and the dreaded ABC gave some coverage . I have to admit to some discomfort in the recent trend of the ANZAC commemoration that seems to be taken over by self interest with a heck of a lot of passengers on board overt shadowing the real purpose.
