We Shall Remember Them...

Today we commemorate ANZAC Day.
One hundred years ago in 1915, thousands of brave young men, boy soldiers, Australians, New Zealander's and Turks died at Gallipoli in what was then called The War To End All Wars.
They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We shall remember them.
From For The Fallen by Laurence Binyon
Sadly it wasn't the war to end all wars, was it...

Lest We Forget. An Artistic Reminder Of The D Day Landings At Normandy Beach...

A graphic reminder of the price some nine thousand brave souls paid during the D Day landings at Normandy Beaches on June 6, 1944.
Last September, British artists Jamie Wardley and Andy Moss took their project named The Fallen to the same beaches and assisted by hundreds of volunteers, stenciled nine thousand silhouettes representing those who perished in The War To End All Wars.
There's more to their story here.
Sadly, while politicians of today pay lip service to these fallen at commemorative services annually throughout the world, so many still possess the desire for more wars.
Using military or economic forces.
Often against their own people.
The tide must turn.
The world must surely be running out of beaches to commemorate today's dead
and tomorrow's dying...
