W is for War Memorials

In almost every small Australian town there is a war memorial with lots of names on it. If you stopped and took time to read the names, you would find that they belong to men and women from the town who went off to war, and never came home. That is why war memorials are very special places.

Every child should try to visit a memorial. It is one way of making sure we remember what the ANZACs did for us.
