The Ode:

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them.

Lest we forget

Is today in remembrance of Gallipoli in particular or all the vets of WWI?

I was wondering that also. Sorry Squizzy. I'm afraid I don't know much of my history from downunder.

Do you have a link? Is it like a National Holiday there?
