Oh! Neat. And he went on to design camouflage for the army of the British Empire.

I'll drink to that. Thank you, oh valiant Aussies and Kiwis. :)

They shall grow not old,
As we that are left grow old,
Age shall not weary them,
Nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun,
And in the morning
We will remember them. Lest we Forget

"And we shall go one to the end..we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall defend our islands, whatever the cost may be. We shall never surrender!- Winston Churchill (as edited by Supertramp) ( I know he's British).

Gone, but not forgotten. And always to be remembered.

o/~ We still remember them today
who from their homeland sailed away,
So blithely and so willingly
To give their lives for you and me,
Father, guard their sleeping o/~

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
