Diggers - ANZAC DAY

Lest We Forget!

It is ANZAC Day here in OZ on which we remember the Men and Women who have served their country in The Australian and New Zealand Army Corps during Wartime.They went to the Boer war and have continued to answer the call in every major conflict , and serve and die, even as we view this, in Afghanistan and Iraq.

(Digger is an Australian and New Zealand military slang term for soldiers from Australia and New Zealand. It originated during World War I.)

I found These pictures , in negative form, among the belongings of a loved one after he passed away. They are pics of him and his unit serving in North Africa in the early days of WW2. These men came to be known as 'The Rats of Tobruk'. He then went on to serve in Papua New Guinea on the kokoda track.

RIP Dad XX
