Lest We Forget

Today is one of the few days in the year when I actually take a moment to stop and reflect on things… and maybe shed a tear. Today I look back on my families long, proud and its fair to say at times miss guided Military Service history. I say “miss guided” not to diminish what they did or what they went through, but to attempt to convey to you the simple fact that for the most part, they (like so many others) didn’t know what they were getting themselves into. But I suppose thats enough about that…

Like many people, I feel strongly about ANZAC. I was born in Australia, and raised in New Zealand. Dads a Kiwi, Mums an Aussie. Technically I am an Aussie, but I served in the New Zealand Army… You get the idea right…? Good. Enough about me.

As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words… So here is my thousand, simple, straight forward… and Cold, just the way a beer should be.

Anzac Day - 2 Beers - By Robb Duncan - Wedding photographer in Melbourne

Two Beers, Carlton Draught from Melbourne (left) and Tui from New Zealand (right)

You might be thinking “why didn’t he use VB as the Aussie beer…?” Well, thats an easy one, you see Carlton Draught is my Dad’s favorite Aussie beer.

My one or three Kiwi readers might be thinking ”Why did he use Tui as his New Zealand beer…?” Thats an easy one too, its MY favorite beer !!

Check out the Raise a glass appeal , supporting Veterans and their families. And do what I will be doing… and thats raising a glass…

We will remember them.
