It's a very emotional service especially when they play The Last Post. <br />Thanks for sharing Kate.Vintage Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16844669942410942778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785279283815492632.post-54444154875334005372013-04-26T09:12:50.503+10:002013-04-26T09:12:50.503+10:00This moved me immensely, I was unable to go to the...This moved me immensely, I was unable to go to the dawn service this year, something just didn't feel right, but all the memories I just experienced ready this was perfect.

Another gentle soul, it must have been a terrible shock for them to be a part of such an experience. Then I think of the Vietnam war and conscription and how I would feel if any of my sons were called up in such a way.<br /><br />Anzac Day served as a reminder of those who lost their lives but also to reconnect with the ones who would understand those unspeakable experiences.Roots and Seedshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11496050725815960078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785279283815492632.post-55966379809794466322013-04-25T15:06:01.832+10:002013-04-25T15:06:01.832+10:00i went to the dawn service this morning at cardiff...i went to the dawn service this morning at cardiff with Scott and Evan and thought about pop the whole time and again when we passed the breakfast place, thinking about those ice creams. i also wondered who has pops metals because if we as a little family are going to do this every year i would love for Evan to wear them in pops honour. that's if no one else is. lest we forget. love rhonnie Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785279283815492632.post-32482200632081660012013-04-25T14:23:59.724+10:002013-04-25T14:23:59.724+10:00We will remember, lest we forget.We will remember, lest we forget.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09587784846213496843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785279283815492632.post-48431181932747697952013-04-25T11:53:18.362+10:002013-04-25T11:53:18.362+10:00My grandfather was in the NZAF as ground support i...My grandfather was in the NZAF as ground support in the islands. He did tell lots of stories but only the amusing/funny ones. I have a box of shells he sent my mum from a place called Emirau up near the equator. It destroyed his health pretty much.<br /><br />viv in nzknutty knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00325560883289908412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785279283815492632.post-38963115598862323512013-04-25T10:01:28.065+10:002013-04-25T10:01:28.065+10:00Thanks for sharing your memories Kate, it was beau...Thanks for sharing your memories Kate, it was beautifully written. My Dad also served in New Guinea during WWII however he was in the RAAF. Unlike your father my Dad never marched in Anzac Day parades or attended services. He told the occasional story about his time in the air force but mostly he didn't want to remember or relive that period. I guess we all deal with situations in different ways. I have my Dad's medals, service book, discharge papers and other bits and pieces. Even though Dad rarely discussed the war he still kept all these items and I will always cherish them.<br />LEST WE FORGETLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10874587176818504414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785279283815492632.post-85487046983625680462013-04-25T08:28:43.502+10:002013-04-25T08:28:43.502+10:00Beautifully written and lovely memories.
