Last Australian WWI vet passes.
"They shall not grow 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 evening
we will remember them."
-- From the Anzac Day Service
Thankyou.

I think we would do well to remember these men, that fought to end a war they hoped would be the last.
Their fortitude is something to be proud of, regardless of nationality; however, we owe a debt of gratitude to our most southern neighbours.“And, remember: there's no 'I' in 'irony'†~ Merlin Mann -
