ANZAC day is when New Zealand and Australia commerate those soldiers who served in the armed forces, but did not return.
I never went to the dawn service at 6AM this year, (someone needed to feed the ducks, geese, etc), So I went to the later service at 11AM.
It never feels as good as the earlier service, I think it’s something to do with been there before dawn, which only draws out the seriously committed ones, amongst us on a cold autumn morning.
The service was well organised with various speakers talking on behalf of various politicians and Government officials. The only odd speech was from the Govenor-General which had a political statement about the Ukraine war of all things.
