They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Lest we forget.

ANZAC Day, on the 25th April, marks the anniversary of the landing of Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) at the Gallipoli Peninsula during the First World War. The actions of the ANZACs during the first major military conflict they faced leaves behind a powerful legacy that profoundly impacts both nations. ANZAC Day commemorates the lives of Australians and New Zealanders who served and died in the Gallipoli campaign all other wars and conflicts subsequently.

andrews-atomic-era asked: That is the 82nd on parade. If you look you'll also see 17th Airborne, and 1st AAB insignias as well. Those insignias are on the right shoulder which means that those were their old divisions. Their 82nd insignias are on their left shoulder

Someone sent a message about this too, I had no idea about that. Now I understand, I was so confused looking at the photo last night lol
