Anzac Day at The Western Front

Every month at the Global drinks we have a wonderful door prize for attendees. In April the prize went to Jasleen who won an ANZAC tour to the Western Front with First Festival Travel. These are a few of Jasleen's photos of the dawn service.


"The Western Front trip was very emotional and moving especially attending the dawn service at Polygon Wood and visiting the commonwealth cemeteries. You have to commend the soldiers who fought for their bravery and sheer will. They sacrificed their lives to create the world we live in now. I was very glad that I went on the trip and got to experience it."

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.
