He seemed to be in the mud and the trenches from things he was saying and the way he was.

STORYLINE:
Australia and New Zealand remembered their war dead on Thursday in western Belgium, at the heart of the First World War's battle-lines.
ANZAC (Australia and New Zealand Army Corps) Day is a world wide day of remembrance for the war dead of both countries.
One of the ceremonies took place in Zonnebeke where over 1,300 of the war graves at Tyne Cot cemetery are of Australians.
Many of the ceremonies were attended by relatives of those who died in battle.
Sixty-four-year-old Michael Jacob travelled from Sydney to mark the experience and see where his grandfather fought - and survived - in the First World War.
When he was not far from passing away, he obviously wasn't really still with us in the normal time but he seemed to be somewhere here as far as I could understand. He seemed to be in the mud and the trenches from things he was saying and the way he was, he said.
The remembrance service at Tyne Cot included the signing of national anthems, prayers and wreath layings.
Meanwhile in Ypres, Australian and New Zealand delegations marched to the Menin Gate memorial for an ANZAC Day service and laid wreathes.
The memorial is dedicated to the British and Commonwealth soldiers who were killed in the area during the First World War and whose graves are unknown.

Albury-Wodonga, Australia
Albury-Wodonga is a twin city straddling the Murray River border of the two south-eastern Australian states of New South Wales and Victoria. Albury is the city on the New South Wales bank of the river, Wodonga the Victorian city on the southern bank. For all practical purposes related to travel, the two cities are one. The cities are a gateway to the gourmet area surrounding Beechworth, the mountain town of Bright and the Rutherglen winery area. They also make a good stopping-off point on the drive between Melbourne and Sydney.
Whilst in many senses Albury-Wodonga operates as a single community (sometimes to the dismay of residents), the twin cities possess parallel municipal governments and state government services. The closer proximity of Melbourne and the local predominance of Australian Rules Football perhaps give Albury a closer cultural affiliation with Victoria. Grand plans were made by the government 30 years ago to turn Albury-Wodonga into a major inland city and the cities have grown rapidly from sleepy country towns to major regional centres.
The Wiradjuri people were probably the tribe of indigenous Australians resident immediately before the advent of Europeans in the area in the 1820s-1830s. European settlement was first gazetted at this popular river crossing in 1839 and after a decade a small settlement was well established. 1851 saw the separation of Victoria from New South Wales as a separate colony with the Murray marking much of the border, and Albury and Wodonga developed as a border town, with customs points between a protectionist Victoria and a free trade favouring New South Wales.
A permanent bridge was built over the Murray river in 1860, with horse drawn coach connections running between the train stations in Wodonga and New South Wales, each running trains on different railway gauges. Even after the rail bridge was built, trains from Victoria ran to Albury, and trains from New South Wales ran to Wodonga, as the governments could not agree on a common interchange station. Albury eventually emerged as the choice for interchange, but the railway gauges remained incompatible until the 1960s when the standard gauge track was laid to Melbourne allowing the first trains to run from Sydney to Melbourne without a change in Albury. The size of Albury station still reflects this heritage.
Albury was also the focus of attempts to open up the inland trade along the Murray, with paddlesteamers seen as a technology that would open up large tracts of farmland to the market. Although strongly supported by the South Australian government the paddlesteamers were never really a financial success, but the wharves and paddlesteamers in Albury today are at least a tribute to the tenacity of the steamer pioneers.

Bony France - Somme American War Cemetery - 1918
On the 4th of July, four companies from the U.S. 33rd Division, interspersed with units from the Australian Corps, helped to seize the village of Hamel, east of Amiens and
near the 6th Engineers battlefield. On 8 August 1918, the British began a series of major offensives that would continue until the Armistice. The U.S. 80th Division took part in these attacks from the 8th to the 18th of August near the village of Serre while farther south, the 131st Infantry drawn from the U.S. 33rd Division cleared the heights and woods
overlooking the Somme River from Chipilly to Braysur-Somme.
The U.S. II Corps with the 27th and 30th Divisions was attached to the British Fourth Army in September and alternately served as a complete corps under the tactical direction of Australian and British corps. Recently arrived from combat with the British
in Flanders, the II Corps was assigned to seize one of the Western Fronts strongest enemy objectives: the St. Quentin tunnel complex of the Hindenburg Line. The Corps objective lay about 40 miles/64 kilometers east of Amiens. The Hingenburg Line consisted of multiple tiers of trenches, strong points, underground
protective bays, barbed wire, and machine gun nests sited on defensively superior ground. In the area
which includes the Somme American Cemetery and the hill to its north known as the knoll, the 27th Divisions 107th Infantry suffered 995 casualties during the first days
attack, the largest one-day American regimental loss for the entire war. The II Corps suffered over 7,500 casualties during their Hindenburg Line assault. The II Corps battles on the Somme cost over 13,500 American casualties.

The Long Tan Cross is a memorial which was erected by the 6th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment on 18 August 1969 to mark the site of the Battle of Long Tan, which was fought three years earlier during the Vietnam War. While the cross was removed following the Communist victory in 1975 and used to commemorate a priest, it was recovered by the Đồng Nai Province Museum in 1984 and placed on display. A replica cross was also erected on the battlefield during the 1980s, and is frequently visited by Australian Vietnam War veterans.
During the afternoon and evening of 18 August 1966, D Company of the 6th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment (6 RAR) fought an intense battle with a much larger force of Vietnamese communist troops near Long Tân in South Vietnam. While the Australian force comprised only 108 men, it managed to defeat the approximately 2000-strong Communist force with the assistance of supporting artillery and air strikes. 6 RAR and the other Australian units engaged suffered 18 killed and 24 wounded, making this the most costly Australian battle of the war. At least 245 of the Communist troops were killed in the fighting.[1]
6 RAR erected the Long Tan Cross to mark the third anniversary of the battle. According to an article in The Canberra Times, the cross was the brainchild of Lieutenant Colonel David Butler and Warrant Officer James Cruickshank, and was constructed from concrete by Sergeant Alan McLean.[2] The cross weighs over 100 kilograms (220 lb) and is just under 2 metres (6.6 ft) tall.[3]
On 17 August 1969, A and D Companies of 6 RAR landed by helicopter near the former battle site and secured the area. The next morning, infantrymen and assault pioneers cleared the area around the location where 11 Platoon of D Company had conducted a last stand during the Battle of Long Tan. A Royal Australian Air Force helicopter then delivered the cross to the site. The remainder of the battalion arrived during the morning, and 6 RAR's chaplain led a ceremony to dedicate the memorial. Ten men from the battalion who had fought in the battle stood at the side of the cross throughout the proceedings. The ceremony concluded before noon, and 6 RAR returned to the nearby major Australian base at Nui Dat; D Company was the last element of the battalion to leave the site.[4]
At some time after the Fall of Saigon and the end of the Vietnam War in 1975, the Long Tan Cross was removed from the battle site. It was subsequently used as a memorial for a Catholic priest until 1984, when it was located by the Đồng Nai Province Museum in Biên Hòa. The museum added it to its collection, and placed the cross on display alongside other items from the war.[5] In either 1986[5] or 1989,[6] a replica of the Long Tan Cross was erected on the battle site by the Long Dat District People's Committee. This replica is often visited by Australian Vietnam War veterans and, as at 2012, was one of only two memorials to foreign military forces permitted in Vietnam (the other being a monument to the French forces who fought in the Battle of Dien Bien Phu during 1954).[5]
The original Long Tan Cross was loaned to the Australian War Memorial in Canberra in mid-2012. It was placed on display at the Memorial on 17 August, and was returned to Vietnam in April 2013

Maryhill Stonehenge WA.
The Maryhill Stonehenge was the first monument in the United States to honor the dead of World War I (specifically, soldiers from Klickitat County, Washington who had died in the then still on-going war). The altar stone is placed to be aligned with sunrise on the summer solstice. Hill, a Quaker, mistakenly believed that the original Stonehenge had been used as a sacrificial site, therefore constructed the replica as a reminder that humanity is still being sacrificed to the god of war.[1] [2] The monument was originally located in the center of Maryhill, which later burned down leaving only the Stonehenge replica. A second formal dedication of the monument took place upon its completion on May 30, 1929. Sam Hill, who died in 1931, lived long enough to see his Stonehenge completed.[3]
The dedication plaque on this Washington Stonehenge is inscribed:
In memory of the soldiers of Klickitat County who gave their lives in defense of their country. This monument is erected in the hope that others inspired by the example of their valor and their heroism may share in that love of liberty and burn with that fire of patriotism which death can alone quench.
