ANZAC Day photo tribute

[Richard Farrant]

Hi,

Here is a link to Youtube of WW1 military vehicles, predominantly used by Australian soldiers, there are WW2 vehicles as well but the early photos are of special interest.. This was put together by Jenny Fawbert for Anzac Day as all the ceremonies were cancelled as it is tradition for military vehicles to take part in the marches to carry Veterans. This year, military vehicle owners across Australia put the vehicles in the driveway at home with flags and displays.

Just brilliant Richard, a wonderful job Jenny.

It was pleasing & a proud moment to see so many families standing out the front of their homes with candles to mark the dawn service. I think this may be something we see every year now.

Lest we forget

Thanks Pierre,

I thought the WW1 photos in particular would be appreciated on this forum.

It was sent me as I am editor of a newsletter for the military vehicle club in Sydney, the AMVCS. Because of the lockdown those vehicle owners who normally participated in Anzac Day ceremonies put their vehicles  in their driveways and carried out their remembrance with their neighbours.

regards Richard

Some great images there. I do like the Peerless with an improvised windscreen.
