Today I took my 4 1/2 year old granddaughter Isabella to her first Anzac Day Dawn Service, commemorating the loss of 8500 young Australian & New Zealand lives during the landing and ensuing battle at Gallipoli in Turkey in 1915. We have always taken her to the mid morning march but this year she asked to come to the dawn service at 4.28am. I was surprised that in these days of political correctness, the kids at her daycare are actually being taught about Anzac Day. At the end of the service she even knew the Ode and she told me her teacher had taught it to all the kids -
"They shall grow not 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 will remember them."
Lest we forget.
