Only published in a newspaper or written in a scrapbook. A lot of work went in to the editing of this anthology. lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-90615718138515144132014-04-27T12:57:25.303+10:002014-04-27T12:57:25.303+10:00That bit in the middle about the Trojan War is cur...That bit in the middle about the Trojan War is curious - not a war fought for a good reason - perhaps there is something more ambivalent going on here than one assumes at first reading.

That bit about our flowers growing over there - very, very moving.skiourophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200877834536477400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-20322078118399508842014-04-27T11:29:05.620+10:002014-04-27T11:29:05.620+10:00It is sad & I admit I'm sometimes a little...It is sad & I admit I'm sometimes a little uncomfortable at the way some people capitalize on the ANZAC myth but I do think it's important to remember the horrors of war - not that it seems to stop wars happening.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-27990893822508981572014-04-27T08:38:10.866+10:002014-04-27T08:38:10.866+10:00I am always glad when ANZAC day is over because of...I am always glad when ANZAC day is over because of the many sad stories that abound. It is good recognition of the soldiers occurs and this poem is another example. It is interesting how much has been written about WWI.
