And Now There Are Two...

Anzac Day 2014 there were four... Four WWII veterans
in Christchurch from the 19th Armoured Regiment.
Anzac Day 2015 there were three... Now there are two...
My Dad on the right and his mate, Jock McPhail...

It's a sad time saying goodbye to these old cobbers.
The funerals are haunting as people get up and talk,
the "Last Post' is played and the 'Reverie'.
Poppies are put on the coffin...
It's a time to reflect how these once young men
changed the course of history... And they are the
lucky ones who returned home...
