hi all,
OT I know, but more likely to be seen here than in any other subforum. Given the day, perhaps a quiet moment of reflection at 11 am? Cheers

Seems the bigger ANZAC day has gotten, the quieter Armistice / Remembrance day has become.
RIP all the fallen soldiers, victims of war. Lets hope we never have another war.

Pretty sad to see nothing mentioned. At lease they are wearing poppies. Its strange to think that WW1 is right on the edge of living history.

Last year people still called up babbling on about their I.T. problems, no one seemed to give two hoots... pathetic really, especially considering it was such a devastating war.

We just had our two minutes of silence.
My prayers for the safety of all in our armed forces.

It's sad that lives were lost.
It's sad that the day is not made as public as otherdays throughout the year. Is the meaning just fading away?

My grandfathers on both sides fought in and survived WWI and my father and his four brothers were in WWII. Three went overseas and two came back.
Lest we forget those who have served and those who still are. Peter. |

When our site director made the announcement at 11am this morning, he didn't hold down the button to talk over the pa system, so nobody heard the announcement.
It's unfortunate but accidents do happen. Today is also the 130th anniversary of the hanging of Ned Kelly in the old Melbourne Goal.
