SubscriberIt seems to me that ANZAC day does get more attention these days from younger people. I haven’t been for nine years but the last time I went the Dawn Service at Hellfire Pass there were many teens in there, and I see them at the local service too. Remembrance Day is not so much about in the psyche of those who didn’t serve or have family who did, and they are becoming fewer. The Vietnam conflict was never seen as “patriotic “ as the WWs by many, and the ME wars were often seen as “none of our business “, unless you had family members involved.
Perhaps we could move the trick or treat nonsense to the 11th. After all, people celebrate Halloween without knowing anything about why.
