WOLF ANGEL
A Fool on the Hill
= APR 25th 2026
SAT
ANZAC day.
.
On 25 April 1915 Australian troops landed at Gallipoli in Turkey.
On the first anniversary of the landing, Anzac Day was observed around Australia and wherever Australian soldiers were posted.
Australians have commemorated the day ever since
Anzac Day - Wikipedia
It always takes me back to recall attending a concert at Machester's Apollo 'back in the day' when Folk songstress Joan Baez gave a poignant background to the song.
The song played acoustically of course was played simply and sombrely, to a silent, packed though respectful audience.
- followed upon completion by raptuous applause
Having friends from 'Down under' (along with a friend of my Dad's - from back in the days of WW unpleasantness) I know how much the date means to those who have lost Parents/Grandparents in armed conflicts.
- There is a remembrance service is scheduled at Manchester's Southern Cemetery tomorrow, where I'm sure; as is the norm that it will be well attended.

- It's another reminder of the futility of warfare.
