There are two people that I would particularly like to thank this ANZAC Day:

  • Duncan Cherry, my maternal grandfather was an armourer in the RNZAF and fought in the pacific. He tells great stories about good times and commeradery.

  • Sholto Lindsay, my paternal grandfather was in both the New Zealand Army and later the Navy. He served on Motor Torpedo Boats in the English Channel.

I am lucky to still have them around and grateful for the efforts of them and all of the allied forces.

I hope that my children are as lucky as I to not see war on this scale.
