They shall not grow old...
Few people live in Mannahill: I doubt many ever did. Yet, one hundred years ago today, a decision made on the other side of the world led to six young men from this remote area becoming names on this small war memorial. Out here, far removed from the empires of Europe, I found the dissonance surprisingly moving.
With the centenary, we now shall be subjected to four years of puffing and posturing by politicians. I'd recommend instead taking in Eric Bogle's song in this link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7z_dUOhkygY
Definitely best viewed on black. Explored.

I always feel sad in those tiny outback towns and communities, to see the war memorials....you really see how many men went away from these already tiny communities, and paid the ultimate price.
A lovely testament, George.
Like you, I find the endless Anzac and WW1 hoo ha from all official quarters totally over the top.
It seems to be assuming a role of national cultural identity and focus. Totally over it already, and cringing at the thought of the next four years.

We do ourselves a disservice when we deny our feelings, I believe, though on another day there might not be a wish to add comments, but on the day that we do, it matters.
How else are we to grow except by sharing insights?
Whether I agree or disagree is not my point ... what I value is that you are willing to share.
