ANZAC Day 25 / 4 /2019 and 2020 (Updated)
Here is my contribution to ANZAC Day,,,,, a poem I wrote many years ago,. Hope you enjoy and it means something to you.
Lone Soldier.
I once counted my friends on the battlefield,
And that was a long time ago.
Then I counted my friends on the Parade Ground.
But that was all just for show.
Then I counted my friends on the bar stools.
As they fell off one at a time.
And I saw them off to the Pearly White gate,
On last count there were more than nine.
Today I count my friends on one hand.
I look around to see where they may be.
They're gone,
...............I'm alone.
...........................There's no-one.
Just my shadow,
...................My memories,
....................................And me.

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

ANZAC day shout out
A big gidday to my fellow Kiwis and our Aussie brethren.
"And the band played Waltzing Matilda, as the ship pulled away from the quay, and amid all the cheers, the flag waving and tears, we sailed off for Gallipoli"
