Anzac Day, lest we forget

Anzac Day always makes you appreciate what we have today, unfortunately for the sacrifices of so many. However many people still have Indians either 741’s or 344 Chiefs from the era, myself included and sometimes I think of it’s first rider during war time perhaps doing convoy duty or riding it on despatch duty delivering important orders in all weathers day and night. Many of these riders and machines were taken to New Guinea and did duty in the jungles none of them returned and lots of their riders failed to come home as well sadly, still I appreciate that we were not occupied, and I am fortunate enough to have met lots of servicemen when they were my age now, true hero’s and gentlemen, lest we forget
