![Remembering todays ANZACS
For the past 2 ANZAC days I’ve made a point of creating an image as a tribute to diggers from WWII. A great man called Jack Brennan who flew KittyHawks out of PNG, and some of my own family who have served during the war.
This year I’d like to mention those of our men and women who are currently serving in the various theatres around the world. Whatever you may think of wars, I’d ask you to take a moment to remember that these brave men & women have chosen to serve their country, doing what our nation askes them to do, without question, with a certain amount of fear and an incredible amount of courage.
They go to war, leaving their wives, children, Mums and Dads behind, and sadly many have not returned .
Thankyou to each & every one of you for all that you do.
This particular image was shot in 2006 by my Husband Robert on his first day serving in Afghanistan. This is a scene that will be familiar to so many who have served there. The trepidation, the heat, the “what comes next”.
Our image previews can be quite small as you know, so I’ve included a crop of one of the soldiers in this image. You’ll notice that he’s ghosted. This is my way of acknowledging those of our serving who have made that ultimate sacrifice. Those who never had the chance to walk Australian soil again.Lest we Forget…..

ANZAC DAY :
Dawn, 25 April 1915, troops of the Australian & New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) landed at Gallipoli beach under immense fire.The campaign lasted nine long months and ended in defeat for the ANZACS.
This day has come to represent the courage, mateship, and resilience that is so typical of all Australian Serviceman, & is the day the that all Australians honour our fallen, & those still serving today……](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lrcimaqUf21r2i9tno1_500.jpg)
