I was on a travel, searching for my granddad's footsteps at Gallipoli and in Palestine, and also a way to explain to my Yank readers what makes ANZAC Day so special to Australians - you showed me the answer via Simpson. Well done and thank you. - Rod & Jean Stewart Near San Francisco http://rodsdispatchesmiddeeast.blogspot.com/ Hello again new young mates;

Although she didn't want to leave Turkey and she is already missing her mates! I'd like to thank you Andrew for escorting the group and looking after them so well, even if you do have a funny sneeze! Thanks also to Carmel and Robert. (Although Carmel I must say cinni is my baby and you can't have her!) And stepping back even further, a thank you to Iain Atkin, Jacinta's history teacher at Nathalia Secondary College, who stirred her interest in history and started her on this fabulous journey by handing her the application form. Not enough credit is given to teachers who motivate students to excel and become passionate about a subject. Thanks to the Australian War Memorial, Edn Dept etc etc who sponsor & support this program. You too Christine, the hard worker back at the office! I shall miss following these blogs....
