Some of my most treasured items
Gday Gent’s
Insignificant items to some,treasures to me.
The small stones are from ANZAC Cove in the Dardanelles,They came off the beach where Australia’s young men went ashore during our first major conflict (obviously not the actual pebbles).Until then Australia’s manhood was relatively untested in battle.
The rifle projectile and piece of shrapnel come from the Somme battlefield.
Australia’s contribution and sacfifice in the battles of the Western Front 1916-18 is now legend.
A nation was forged together (we were a nation but 13 years old in 1914)and earnt respect from the power’s of the old world due to these actions.We were no more just a colony of Great Britian but a nation in our own right.
Treasures to me.
