Subject: RE: Thought for the Day - ANZAC Day
The Aussies and Kiwis of Kuwait did ANZAC Day a little early last week but it was poignant. The Turkish Ambassador was present and paid his respects.
Ironically, the folk singers who provided the first part of the entertainment were all POMs of some description ... but the music was familiar to all ears.
As part of the opening proceedings, an individual read "The Ode" which was followed by a minute of silence ... quite a privilege to have been a part of it all.

Cheers
