The impact of their service on families and communities
Benjamin Bennett Leane of the 48th battalion died on 10th of April 1917. Left at home his wife and two kids patiently waited for good news with no luck. He will not be forgotten as we will remember those that fought for our country and made the ultimate sacrifice. We now remember the lives lost during World War 1 on Remembrance Day. This marks the end of the war on the 11th of November 1918 giving one minute silence at 11am. Anzac Day marks the Landing of Gallipoli reflecting on the lives that were lost. This is only one side of the story signifying the birth of the Anzac Spirit showing all of the attributes distinguished through the Gallipoli Campaign. These anniversaries allow for all Australians to reflect back on the sacrifices made by their relatives for the betterment of Australia.”They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them” (Australian Army, n.d.).
