I have never been a huge fan of the War Memorial. I don't like the insight into what war is, the reminder of how many lives have been taken in the name of...well, whatever the purpose of war is. Freedom to exist in the form you choose to exist in I suppose. But sometimes I find myself there and I'm always overwhelmed with the mix of emotions. It is both beautiful and terrible, one of our most sacred sites.
I've never photographed there before and I didn't have my camera with me this time either because I was there on a mission with one of my good friends, Miss Kim, who was looking for information about a relative of hers, George Hamon. But I was compelled to take some photos outside with my camera phone.
We found George's name on the honour roll because he was killed in action.
Lest We Forget
