Rather disturbing figures I think. If you know anyone who may need assistance, please send them in the right direction. If you are one of the unaccounted for veterans, it really doesn't hurt to ask what you might be entitled to; considering what you have sacrificed....

The 2021 Census counted 581,000 veterans. DVA's system has 302,000.

The gap is 279,000 veterans invisible to the system built to support them. Many are from the post-2000 generation. Many never lodged a claim.

You can't support people you can't find.

This ANZAC Day, we remember.

At dawn, we’ll stand together.
For the ANZACs who landed at Gallipoli.
For every Australian and New Zealander who has served since.
For those who came home, and those who didn’t.

They gave their today so we could have our tomorrow.
Lest we forget.

The Veterans Festival of Remembrance and Australian International Tattoo team is with you this ANZAC Day — not just in silence, but in action.

While our inaugural festival will be held on Remembrance Day November 11, 2027, our purpose lives every day of the year. ANZAC Day reminds us why we do this: so the stories, the sacrifice, and the struggle don’t fade.

Too many of our veterans carry battles we can’t see. That’s why our shows exist — to honour the past, and to raise awareness and funds for mental health programs supporting veterans and their families.

So this ANZAC Day, we ask you:
Remember them. Say their names.
Check on your mates.
And when November 11 2027 comes, stand with us at the Veterans Festival of Remembrance so no one is forgotten.

From all of us to all of you —
We will remember them. Lest we forget

The Irish Guards, Queens Mothers regiment led by Major Chatburn. He was later assigned to Queen Elizabeth’s office as head of ceremonial duties ensuring all musical performances befitted the Queens position. Truly a remarkable man. A top bunch of bands people. Still to this day have contact.

The bearskin hats were from Canadian black bears, mainly female or young cubs. They have a slight tinge of blue in the fur. Of course these bearskins are now rare and no longer coming from animals. The modern days bear skins are synthetic. The guards bands take enormourse care with the original hats.

I forgot about this one, goes to show how well trained our South Australian Mounted Police Horse are. With girls dancing all around they stuck to the routine. Beautiful horse and an icon to South Australia.
We hope they can make an appearance in the future.
