War Memorial - Anzac

2008.02.17
fire outside in remembrance

statue of the soldiers carrying one of their own..

you and i used each others shoulder, still so young yet somehow so much older - (lyrics from when the war is over cold chisel)

the outside of the memorial building

Carved into the stone at the base of the stairs

side view of the front

side by side.. just like the soldiers

statue outside on the side of the building

beautiful site when you enter the building and look up, it looks like a stairway to heaven...

right underneath the ceiling of the above picture..

at the foot of the above picture.

one of the books from the enclosed cases

what they fought for..

back to back guarding each other...

close up of one of the soldiers boots

Poster behind the glass.... they loved us..

the doors from the outside

looking back as we left the building..

mateship.

statue outside the building

close up... i love the first one ..

lest we forget...

anzac is not merely about loss it is about courage and endurance, and duty and love of country and mateship and good humour, and the survival of a sense of self worth and decency in the face of dreadful odds.

Yesterday my cousin and I went into the city and on our little journey in the city we went past the War Memorial for the Anzac's. Neither of us had been there before but we were both so emotional while we toured through. I got very emotional while we were there... Lest we forget.
