Lest We Forget

Hi
This is a layout that I just had to create on Anzac Day - it is a layout remembering the men and women who went to War so that we can live safely  in this wonderful country. 


For those of you who do not understand the meaning of Anzac - it is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand that commemorates all Australians and New Zealanders "who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations" and "the contribution and suffering of all those who have served".

Once again this page was done with 49 & Market paper  (Live Life to the Fullest)

I also used a selection of other paper strips which worked well together to highlight the yellow and red sprays and inks I used. 

The Poppies (the symbol of ANZAC Day) were purchased from our local returned servicemen's stall where they sell badges and poppies to help raise funds for the  returning service men and ladies. 

The most important part of the whole page is the picture - this is of my husband's Grandfather - Wilfred Wright.  Wilfred served serviced proudly in the New Zealand Army during the First World War and went on to re-inlisting again in the Second World Ward but worked with the Army in New Zealand rather than going overseas again.
