Lest We Forget.

Bulletman

If you watch afl.com.au, or possibly on Channel 7 in some areas, at 1pm today my friend John Mansfield will be shown realising an ambition by playing The Last Post at the MCG, recorded in an empty stadium earlier this week. He is a brilliant bugler so it will be moving.

was very nice to see and the sounds of the birds intermingled with the sounds of the RSL app being played from various driveways added to the atmosphere.

and we had a single privately owned warbird fly over the area just after which was a nice touch...

all in all it was well done I thought and a fitting tribute

A member on another forum mention the same warbird, he lives in Goodwin beach.

I didn't hear a thing this morning - I'm told there was quite a cacophony of sounds for ANZAC Day.

I didn't realise it was ANZAC Day until I spoke with a neighbour's partner about the neighbour's photos of him in Afghanistan that are attached to his letterbox.

Dad's brothers were soldiers but Dad had lost an eye when he was 10. He went to Darwin after the bombing as part of the Civil Construction Corps. Australia under attack | The Australian War Memorial

Dad's brothers all returned from overseas.

We stood on our deck and played the last post from the Canberra War Memorial service.

One other in the street was Justin , an ex navy diver with PTSD.

My Maternal grandfather and uncle served in France in WW1 and got the flu but lived and said uncle then served on HMAS Arunta in WW2.

Dad was old as born in 1899 so served at Wallangarra for over 8 years . His uncle was in NSW Regiment and served in South Africa and China to relieve Beijing.

SWMBO father served at Horn island and died of ulcers. Her mother made ammunition at Rocklea.
