ANZAC Day
Remembrance Day in New Zealand
And
Australia
They rose with courage in a world at war
Today we rise in peace, remembering them
From the trenches to today's parades we honour the brave.

His brother Frank Creasy served in the NZ Army and was killed in the Battle of Monte Casino. He is buried in the Commonwealth Cemetary at Cassino in Italy.
My mother's brother George Perry also served in the NZ Army. He was captured in Northern Greece when the Germans invaded and spent the rest of the war working on a farm in Austria growing food for the German Army.
