Lest we forget
http://drewandlou.wordpress.com/ 2008/ 04/ 30/ lest-we-forget/Another day in Instanbul before we started our three day ANZAC Day Tour. This was one of the things on our trip that I was looking forward to the most. So on the bus we get and we head straight for Gallipoli Pennisula to visit the memorials and cemetaries before the Dawn Service the following day.

More dawnies
http://justin-and-tina.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 04/ more-dawnies.htmlWatched the movie Gallipoli and then later the dawn service from Anzac Cove and Villers-Bretonneux. The movie: was interesting and nice to see a very young Mel Gibson. Also the portrayal of young Australian men at war was quite interesting.

The Poppy
http://cp1302ger.wordpress.com/ 2008/ 04/ 27/ the-poppy/The Poppy (Ne Gelincik) by the Rambling Man In my hand I hold a poppy Not of stem and petal made, but of linen. Red, and brittle, like the sands of Suvla Bay and lives that hung to roaring cliffs at Hell’s Spit. Silent stones now lie where many men once stood; Adorned with flowers, each with a tale to tell, of woe.

I used it as a sort of play on words, but one that goes directly to the heart of the matter.
