Anzac Day


G'day you lot,

just a short note from Normandy.

Months ago we saw a program on television of an old Australian Air Force veteran visiting the village in France where he and some of his bomber crew were hidden from German capture by the villagers and given assistance to escape after being shot down.
After some research I found a group of Australian airmen's graves in a cemetery not far from where we would be staying and decided that it would be good to visit on ANZAC Day and pay homage to these aircrew who died and were buried so far from home.
