My first memories of Anzac Day are that as a child in Wagga Wagga in the late 1960s watching WW1 and WW2 veterans marching proudly down Bayliss Street. We would be watching from our usual spot outside the Union Club Hotel. The older veterans who were unable to walk would precede the marchers in taxis. Then when I started traveling I would attend Anzac Day dawn services and watch the marches. I recall being in Sydney in 1991 and attending the march. There were still large numbers of WW2 servicemen marching and having their annual reunion. In 1997 I was fortunate to attend Anzac Day at Gallipoli in Turkiye. A moving service looking down on to Anzac Cove then an 11am service at Lone Pine. Being based in Singapore for 20 years I always attended Dawn service at Krani War Cemetery when in town. The running of the service alternating between the New Zealand and Australian embassies. Then after coming back to Australia we attending the local Dawn Service in Beechworth when in town. We have been fortunate to attend in Sydney. The Dawn Service is very well attended but there are big gaps in the ranks of those marching with some units only having 1 or 2 remaining and others just a flag representing past service. As for other war cemeteries I have been fortunate to visit El Alamein in Egypt, Bomana and Pita Paka in Papua New Guinea, Labuan in Malaysia, Kanchanaburi War Cemetery in Thailand, Pheasant Wood, VC Corner and Villers-Bretonneux in France. The cemeteries always immaculate and maintained by the Commonwealth War Grave Commission.
