ANZACS of Macarthur Book Launch
On 7 September I was fortunate enough to accompany Mackenzie M and Payten-Rae S to Mount Carmel to attend the book launch of Anzacs of Macarthur: Men and Women Who Served in the First World War.
Along with other schools in the Macarthur region, we received two copies of this fantastic and painstakingly researched account of the Macarthur region’s 1000 or so soldiers, sailors and nurses who served in World War I. We also got the chance to speak with Bradbury author Lauren Hokin who dedicated two and a half years to this worthy project. It was a thought-provoking and emotional encounter, reminding us once again of the deep gratitude we have for those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."
