A picture tells a powerful story and the ending of Wilfred Owen’s poem, Dulce et Decorum, seems fitting here,
Dulce et decorum est
Pro partia mori.
The latin phrase is from the Roman poet Horace, “it is sweet and fitting to die for one’s country”. Highlighting the irony that it was not sweet or fitting that so many gave their lives for their country.
At venturD on ANZAC Day, we honour those men and women who have served or currently serving in the defence forces and remember those who have fallen.
Lest we forget.
