Honoring the brave servicemen on ANZAC Day in Perth and Canberra, we remember their sacrifice and unwavering dedication. The First Wounded in London Hospital, August 1914, 1915 (oil on canvas) serves as a poignant reminder of the hardships endured by these courageous individuals. ANZAC Day in Perth resonates with profound gratitude as we pay tribute to those who have served our nation selflessly. In Perth, the spirit of ANZAC Day prevails year after year, reminding us of the indomitable spirit that defines our servicemen. From blind ex-servicemen learning anatomy and massage after WW1 to those blinded during the war finding solace in making baskets, their resilience shines through every endeavor they undertake. ANZAC Day in Perth witnesses a remarkable display of strength as disabled ex-servicemen come together to create cinema advertisements featuring poppies - an emblematic symbol of remembrance. These men exemplify determination and unity despite their physical challenges. The stories unfold before our eyes; blind ex-servicemen mastering new skills like making nets and baskets while others delve into the intricacies of anatomy and massage therapy. Their unwavering commitment to personal growth is awe-inspiring. As we reflect upon these images from history, let us not forget that behind each photograph lies countless untold tales of bravery, sacrifice, and resilience. We owe an immeasurable debt to our servicemen for safeguarding our freedom. On this ANZAC Day in Perth and Canberra alike, let us stand united with hearts full of gratitude for those who have served or continue to serve our country selflessly. May their courage inspire generations yet unborn as we honor them today and always.
