Donrak War Cemetery


Although many years have passed since those fatal days of war,
my feeling of pride will never grow small.
To all the men and women that gave so much,
I only wish we could keep in touch.
War should not be glorified,
but to all those who fell and fought so well did not do so in vain,
as I for one will always remember them.

Signed,
A young and mighty bloody proud Australian
