This is a special day for all Australians as each year it is a time to remember those who died or suffered for Australia's cause in all wars and armed conflicts.
The Australian War Memorial website is a place where you can find out more about this special day. You can also research family members who have been involved in service to find out more about them.
In Flanders Fields
In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place: and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae (1872–1918) Composed at the battlefront on May 3, 1915 during the second battle of Ypres, Belgium.
In this video Charlie Brown is asked the question, "What have we learned?"
