Thank you for sharing it and for telling a little of John McRae's heroic service in conjunction with that of the brave ANZAC soldiers. We have been blessed with lives of peace and safety because of the sacrifices of so many who stepped up to serve at the cost of their own lives or at the cost of serious injuries, bodily and mentally.Fundy Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132147630106183853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450572385521130262.post-63288755322845464882016-04-28T12:05:53.535+12:002016-04-28T12:05:53.535+12:00Beautiful.

I think it is so important to remember. My grandfather died in England in the Second World War fighting in the British navy; my mom grew up without a dad so it is all very meaningful to me.
