My father was an engineer in the royal navy ww11
My uncle was in the middle east before being sent to new guinea to fight the Japanese
His uncle fought in the middle east he was a gunner of renown
But when his medal was announced fishing he was found
I knew a man not very well died without a sound
A eulogy I had to give and in his van I found
"Do unto others as others do unto you."
He had joined the communist party straight after the war I could only wonder what the hell for
Today there was an atmosphere like a calm before a storm
Wisdom in diplomacy
Hypocrisy in war.

A solemn ANZAC day to you!
I have, in my latter years, acquired a deep appreciation for the heroics of the Australian and New Zealand forces. Yet, I too feel that there is hypocrisy in war. Very well written
