Lest we forget the ultimate price of warfare
Michael Leunig, cartoonist, poet, philosopher amoungst other things has some deep questions to ask about remembering the war.
Here's an extract.
"The mind can travel a long way in a minute's silence. Inevitably I then start to think and wonder about the forgotten men who on conscience and principle refused to take part in this monumental violence (where is their monument?), which then leads to a yearning for an Australia that would honour and remember the most horrible and sad truth of all: the civilian victims of war."
