2019 Anzac Day Dawn Service From Anzac Cove in Gallipoli

In honour of the men of the Australian New Zealand Army Corps, the (Royal) Newfoundland Regiment, the Sandringham Company of the Royal Norfolk Regiment and of the Indian Army who fell in the Gallipoli Campaign that began 105 years ago today.

The Imperial Forces and the French Allies had a total of 252,000 casualties, killed and wounded, almost 40,000 of whom died within days of the Landings. We will remember them! Lest we forget!

Since there are no services this year, here is last year's Dawn Service from ANZAC Cove. Lest we forget!

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
