Hi Archie
ReplyDeleteWell done on your blog about ANZAC day. It is special for us to know the facts around why we commemorate this day since it is an important part of our history. I have been lucky enough to have been to Gallipoli and what struck me when I went there was how close both sides trenches were to each other. Will your family be doing anything to commemorate ANZAC day tomorrow?
