Corporal Ben Roberts-Smith - photo taken moments after the action for which he was awarded Australia (and the Commonwealth's) highest award for valour in the face of the enemy - the Victoria Cross.
It is ANZAC Day here in Australia - and New Zealand. The most sacred day in our national calendar. The day we remember those who have fought and died for our country in the course of freedom.
I have to be in England later in the week, but I delayed leaving until today so I could once again attend the Dawn Service at Melbourne’s Shrine of Remembrance. A reminder every year to remain worthy of the sacrifices made to give me the life I have.
You should do another post of this wonderful soldier’s pic, alongside the one of algore staring down the muzzle of his rifle! What a contrast!
Go Aussies !!!
Winner winner Sheen dinner? No. Winner winner Ben dinner.
