Its ANZAC day here in Oz Sunday. This is our nations moment to pause and remember the thousands who have served our armed forces, sadly many sacrificing themselves against bullets or bayonets.
At Gallipoli there was a Pine tree alone in the battle field. After our loss and retreat cone & seed that where brought home where sown and the trees descendants now feature as memorials to the fallen at many sites.
