What a legacy! Thank you for sharing your family’s stories. I’m taken with your grandfather who volunteered at 61 - what strength, courage and commitment that must have taken!
Thanks for sharing this collection of stories of ANZACs from your family archives. April 25 is of personal significance to me, this was my Dad’s birthday. I will be posting some stories of him this Week.
Thanks for your family's involvement and for linking to their stories, Jenny. So many went and didn't come home ... And those that did make it home came back different people having endured experiences that I think we can only begin to imagine. I will be posting about an ANZAC in my husband's family on Friday.
Thanks Jane. Sadly many came back to a totally different world. My husbands brother suffered PTSD after his time in Vietnam. It was hard for all, especially his family to watch that. I look forward to reading your stories.
Thanks for sharing the memories of your ancestors as we approach ANZAC day. Their sacrifice and memory will live on by the sharing of their stories. 25th April is always a significant day in my genealogy calendar as it was the day that my great-grandfather was killed as per to f the ill fated Gallipoli landings.
Sadly there are many sad stories, however, as you have said, by sharing their stories, we can keep their memories alive. They never got to chance to grow old.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Bless the memories of these brave family members.
He was quite the legend. A story we’re very proud of.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
