As a high school student, I'm often thinking about the future, about exams, careers, travels,
00:45
dreams.
00:46
Instead of me today, I'm thinking about the past, more specifically about the young men
00:51
and women, many just like me, who never got the chance to think about their futures the
00:55
way I can, because they chose, so they volunteered to protect something much bigger than themselves.
01:03
One hundred and ten years ago, lives became intertwined and lives were lost on the shores
01:09
of Polyphary.
01:10
Yet from this struggle and dark period, something very powerful emerged.
01:16
The Anzac spirit, a spirit that embodies courage, loyalty, mateship, and acknowledges that we
01:23
are more powerful as a team, and it has always, and will always, be that way.
01:28
...to the battle.
01:30
They were young, straight of limbs, true of eyes, steady and aglow.
01:34
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted, they fell with their faces to the foe.
01:41
They shall grow not old as we that left grow old.
01:45
Age shall not worry them, nor the years condemn.
01:49
At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them, lest we forget.
