ESK COMMUNITY CHOIR HELPS FLY THE FLAG ON ANZAC DAY.
April 25th,
2012 was the 97th time Australians have commemorated Anzac Day. Though the men and women still here to tell
of their stories show faces that have been separated by many years of conflicts
in various places around the world, they are also inextricably linked by the
history of the ANZACS and the enduring spirit that has held a Nation together
on this day since the end of World War 1.
This year
in Esk, a much larger than usual and
more enthusiastic crowd gathered at Memorial Park to pay their respects to
those men and women who have gained for this Nation the freedoms we enjoy today,
and who have brought us a step closer to
tolerance and peace. In his usual
flamboyant style, Mr. Charlie Elwell hosted the Anzac Service, which included
two touching poems written by locals, Tom Deans and Margaret Sheppard. Amongst the gathering, a small group from the
Esk Community Choir very capably led the community in song. Representing the Choir, were Shirley Todd and
Joann Brown who laid a wreath in commemoration of those who, for us, have given
their lives for the cause and in support of those still fighting the fight.
