Perhaps that is what all of us who blog try to do in our own way. I have been reading the book Nella Last's War (the war diaries of a housewife). She talks about making them and about her sun immigrating to Australia after the war. I thought of you then. It is a beautiful quote about those who die young, I love it.

They are very delicious. The sight of all those poppies lining that memorial made me realize that even though these men are gone, they are not forgotten. When you mentioned that your relatives were buried on foreign soil, it made me so sad as it must be so hard to travel that far to honor them.

It was a very moving experience being on top of the hill with views over the harbor where our Anzacs departed for Gallipoli almost 100 years ago.
