We always attend an ANZAC Day service no matter where we are. Only this year we were in Wangaratta due to Trent, 2nd son's cadet unit marching.

As such most of the pictures I took are of the kids.

33 ACU - Trent is on left behind Flag Bearer

Catafalque Guards - Crowd was very much shoulder to shoulder, was lucky I got these two shots.

Father & Daughter - The girls face says a lot I feel, wasnt sure if to go in tight & just concentrate on her face or go with what I did.

In memory of those who served & recently passed. - This shot is 'AS IS' I knew & wouldnt mind tweeking it in ps to show cadets more, but upon doing so it lost some of its meaning somewhere & it felt more strongly with the cadets being in silhouette. Just blurred the background.

    Thanks Simone, good stuff. Not enough folks in the US know about ANZAC day, this is a nice way to let them know about it.
