I normally wouldn't post anyting on a Sunday but this one is different. Today for New Zealanders and Australians we celebrate this day as ANZAC (meaning Australian New Zealand Army Corps) day by remembering those who died in all wars that our loved ones have fought in. Today and tomorrow are normally public holidays, all businesses usually have to close until lunch time out of respect for how important this day is to literally everyone.
Here are 2 of my heroes. Neville Walter Franks (above), my dad's uncle who died in WW2 of wounds on Monte Cassino, Italy. My youngest son actually looks very much like him.
Matthew Allan Dunlop of Napier, my grandmother's uncle on my mother's side, died in WW1 in the Somme, France.
I hope you will remember this day with me.
