From Gallipoli with Love

Moving letters and photographs from Anzacs of the Wimmera.



It was the soldier, not the poet,

Gave us freedom of expression.

'Twas the soldier, not the preacher,

Gave us freedom of religion.

'Twas the soldier, not Trade Unions,

Gave us better work conditions.

And 'twas the soldier made this country free,

Not party politicians.

Freedom from Want, Freedom from Fear,

And Freedom of Speech which we hold dear.

'Lest We Forget' are words we say

When marching every Anzac Day.

So keep alight that undying flame

To honour those who deserve gieat fame.
