Today, Remembrance Day is commemorated to remind the living of the enormous sacrifices of mankind during WW1. A time when living flesh clashed with iron and steel. A war of attrition, of needless slaughter and a war to end all wars. Sadly history has demonstrated that mankind throughout the ages has fought one another over assets, power and control. This post is a dedication to all those who have fallen in battle.
HANZAC LIONS OF PELLANA guard the entrance to the Hellenic ANZAC Memorial located in Pellana, Laconia, Greece. A tiny village in the Euvrotas River valley, snug in between two mountain ranges, Taygetos and Parnona.
The memorial is a dedication and tribute to the Hellenes, Australians and New Zealanders that fought and died during WW2 in Greece. In addition it is also a personal tribute to cobber, digger, mates as well as to those numerous people past and present who had a hand in developing me.
The article in PDF format better describes the HANZAC Memorial and there is no need to address those matters her. Admittedly, the document is a long one, but as always one hopes that it is worth reading during a period of reflection. It is one mans tribute who wishes to leave a legacy behind for future generations to understand that life is not without sacrifice and as such we should remember them.
