    In Australia we have a Returned Servicemen s League (RSL) Club in almost every town throughout the entire Country. EVERY evening at 6.00pm the lights dim, the Pokie Machines come to a halt and the bar closes. EVERYONE stands to order whilst the Last Post is played culminating with a voice over saying "Lest We Forget"!

    ANZAC DAY is huge here in Oz Billy. Dawn services are held throughout the Country in just about everywhere.
    Here in Traralgon Victoria I and the "Child-Bride" attend with many friends and join the majority of the community (population 20,000) who rise early and attend the "Dawn Service" under the 'Anzac Statue" every year on the 25th April. Very moving service. Also a National Holiday.
