Anzac Day Thoughts

Sir, —The abolition of Anzac Day is being widely advocated. May I, as one of the rising generation, state why it should be continued? On that day we who are the future citizens of this Dominion are taught two lessons. We see soldiers, sailors, nurses, and those men who have returned from the Great War. Our hearts swell, with pride for they, are “ours.” We feel that we should never be able to turn traitor to our God, our King or our country. Then we see those men who are suffering from injuries received at the war: some are limbless, others blind or deaf. We think of the hundreds we are honour ing and of their great sacrifice in dying for us. We realise the horrors of war, but feel that if duty should ever call us in that direction we should willingly obey. In the meantime we strive to obtain peace among the nations of the world.—l am, etc., A FIFTEEN-YEAR-OLD. Featherston, April 2G.
