ANZAC REMEMBRANCE
"THEY WERE THERE AGAIN" Those little white crosses, each bedecked with a little red poppy. Each year they appear on that semicircular lawn in front of the friend:;-/ little chuveh with the holly hedge. It looked as if they had sprung tin. like mushrooms, overnight, hut 1 knew that this could not be so for they appear so regularly, yes, just once a year and in the mornings alter dawn "row upon row." They were put there by loving hands. Those hands wrote the names. Each year, on the little crosses, the red poppies, like the holly berries at Christmas time, shot a flume of joy into the world that sees, a roll of honour embossed on the green swathe, erect crosses, gay poppies, a living memory to a noble sacrifice. D.J. I!.. April 25.
