| An incredible place |
On this
day nine years ago we had the privilege of sitting in Anzac Cove as the sun
rose and the Last Post played. It was one of the most moving and memorable
experiences of my life. Today, I wish I were there again.
As a kid I'd learnt about Anzac Day, been to
services and marched a few times with school. But it wasn't until I sat, in the
dark, on the slopping hill of Anzac Cove that the enormity of what our soldiers
faced dawned on me. Behind us was a massive hill, so steep it would take hours
and great strength to climb. In front of us, water lapped the sand where so
many of our soldiers lost their lives. One look at the landscape gave the game
away - they never stood a chance. On this special day, Lest We Forget.
