What a very interesting story Denyse. I love hearing about the Anzacs, and feel quite emotional when I see the old Diggers marching on Anzac Day. It seems almost a sacred day, to me.

This is wonderful Denyse. I loved hearing about your family's ANZAC memories. My Dad also didn't think he contributed to the war effort. He arrived in Japan just as the war was over, so didn't see any battles. His batallion stayed for peacekeeping. When he came home he refused to get his medals as the didn't feel that he'd earned them. About 20 years ago I applied for them on his behalf. He still didn't want them, so I have them now. The tragic accident in your family was very sad.
