Their name liveth for evermore

The hearts of young adults' parents bleed as they look over the graves in the Belgian Polygon Wood, when they read their names and especially when they see their age.

 

Australian and New Zealands troops fought in this wood in the First World War 1914-1918 during the battle for the town of Ypres (Ieper) that was occupied by the enemy.

 

The First World War was the most insane and useless War of all Wars.

For Australia and New Zealand the First World War was important in their identity formation after their independence.
