Thread Name: Thought for the Day - ANZAC Day
Subject: RE: Thought for the Day - ANZAC Day

This song
tells the story of the first ANZACs at Gallipoli but today we think of all wars and all the young men who were killed. They're just interviewing a young bloke whose relative was at Biggin Hill - he would have been known as "the old man" but he was 23 years old! Kids!
There are lots of old threads that tell you more but here's one from the late Sam Sampson - Billy the Bus
