OOTD - Saturday 25 April (ANZAC Day)

If you are in the US think Memorial Day, or Veterans Day

ANZAC stands for the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, formed in World War I.

It’s also used to describe the soldiers from those forces—especially remembered for the Gallipoli campaign and ANZAC Day commemorations.

The Gallipoli landing happened on 25 April 1915, and the ANZAC service starts at 0530 with the Bugle playing Reveille at the Sun breaches into the day.

This morning Nicole read the Ode at the service, I will put it below

“They went with songs to the battle, They were young, straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow,

They were staunch to the end against odds uncountered, they fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old,

As we that are left grow old,

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condem them,

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them. CROWD - WE WILL REMEMBER THEM

Lest We Forget. CROWD - LET WE FORGET

This is then followed by The Last Post, 2 minutes science and then Reveille. Then the NAtional anthems of New Zealand 🇳🇿 and Australia 🇦🇺

Todays outfit consists of;

M.J. Bale Aston suit crafted from 100% Australian Merino Wool for a superior feel with natural stretch finish. The result is a garment that wears with you, not against you. The cloth has a subtle Grey Glen Check and a Nvay Overcheck that produces a delightful Prince of Wales Check pattern.
