Yes, it's dark and early and cold, but we're not going to get shot at. <br /><br />Thanks, Jeanne, this is good reminder also to rehearse the hymns that are often sung at the service: "O God Our Help in Ages Past" and "Abide With Me".<br /><br />We've read "My Grandad marches on Anzac Day" with DD and also "What was the war like, Grandma?" by Rachel Tonkin, which is the story of the families at home during WWII (but is OOP). <br /><br />And of course there will be Anzac bikkies, but we have them all year 'round.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16331862535368805034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-9222122921249752332011-04-12T08:50:28.558+10:002011-04-12T08:50:28.558+10:00This is a good post.

It apalls me we are still solving our conflicts with bigger guns & better bombs. I understand; my dad was a WWII pilot but I can no longer march. Anzac Day breaks my heart. ♥Ganeidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176246964466185315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-70632064425039870722011-04-12T07:48:53.945+10:002011-04-12T07:48:53.945+10:00I'd love to read those books some day.

This year will find us away from home for Anzac Day, but we will still keep our family tradition of attending a Dawn Service. I have just received a copy of My Grandpa Marches on Anzac Day to read to our younger ones. xMelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01103643232928794226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-8624794217463704542011-04-11T17:22:07.341+10:002011-04-11T17:22:07.341+10:00Anzac Day has crept up on us too with the holidays...Anzac Day has crept up on us too with the holidays falling as they do this year, but we too will remember them.<br /><br /><br />Your previous post on the books looks fine on my computer :-)Rubyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12635847963310037609noreply@blogger.com
