In 2017 I was in France, attending the ANZAC Day Dawn Service, after breakfast I did a tour of many of the local battlefields. After lunch I arrived at the Adelaide Cemetery, after some searching I found the grave where this man had laid for some 75 years. Very moving to stand and remember this man. RIP cobber.
My grandfather was a Z Special Commando and my brother is a Captain. Ive always respected our Armed forces. Such stoic gentlemen. What a beautiful, moving video. Rest in peace, Australia's son.
England. A certain comment about our Queen's death (just 1 guess what country) said about an Australian comment. She's not your Queen, what's all the fuss ? Oh, those wide open spaces surrounded by teeth. Our Unknown Soldier is buried the same in Westminster Abbey. I have not seen war (I'm77) thank God. I'm also the only male member of my family not to have been wounded or killed by war since before Waterloo. My Dad was first into a foxhole in WW2 with 3 oiks on top of him. They wriggled out the way of a large bomb splinter. Gawd, did he have a scar on his bum. Sergeant, RAF Halfpenny Green (not Halfpenny Field as in the film). Two days before his death, he told me where a Rolls-Royce Merlin was buried. It was not on 'the books' and had to be 'lost'. He was frightened they might put him in prison. They found it, not in bad shape. All the best Australia.

The reason I joined the Army was because of these men.

Z CDO.
He had a hard time
I hope you all have a 'good' Remembrance Day/Armistice Day this year. Beautiful video.
Thanks for sharing Bernie. Heartfelt.
Brave and strong men. Australia would be even better if we hadn’t lost them so early in their lives. God bless what a sacrifice
So moving. Beautiful done. We Will Remember Them. Lest We Forget.🇦🇺
