ANZAC day
WW1 memorial in Howard, Qld.
The memorial commission was given to a firm in Italy. However no photographs were sent, so when the statue arrived, the uniform is that of an Italian soldier from WW1. It’s believed to be unique in that regard.
(Sassoon’s brother Hamo was killed at Gallipoli.)Give me your hand, my brother, search my face;
Look in these eyes lest I should think of shame;
For we have made an end of all things base.
We are returning by the road we came.
Your lot is with the ghosts of soldiers dead,
And I am in the field where men must fight.
But in the gloom I see your laurell’d head
And through your victory I shall win the light.
-Siegfried Sassoon
Eddie Albert fought in defence of Australia at a time when Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander veterans did not have equal access to the soldier-settler grants, amongst other exclusions and inequities.
His descendant Trish Albert speaks with pride about the strength that Eddie found in his wartime contribution – and his strong sense that he had earned equality.
Trish also speaks movingly of the people’s movement for recognition and urges all Australians to be part of putting this right. “I believe the Recognise campaign is a movement that we each need to be a part of,” she says.
“We all need to stand up to make a difference.”

Santa Cesarea Terme, Salento
@Regrann from @thiago.lopez - Algumas escadas te levam ao paraíso e essa do canto esquerdo da foto é apenas uma delas! ☺️ Essa é uma praia de visita obrigatória para quem está em Puglia/ Salento. A água é maravilhosa mas eu confesso que ficava longos minutos admirando do alto a beleza dessa praia: Porto Miggiano! ☺️
