MAUREEN NOLA FORBES 26th Dec 1931 - 21st May 2008
**********************************************
Sometime in the early morning of Wednesday May 21 st of 2008,
My dearest mum passed away ..peacefully at Caritas Christi in Kew.

She has endured a long battle with bowel cancer and her struggle to
overcome it was too much for her frail body.

I spent some close and loving time with her the previous day and somehow I knew her time was close.

I said my goodbyes, misty eyed as always ... I left her three times but something drew me back to her each time.
She said in her frail voice "I love you"and I gave her what was to be our last embrace.

As I left I prayed her suffering would end and she would find peace.

She died peacefully that night.

I loved her dearly and we will miss her always.

I have not been able to write of this until now as it saddens me so much.

I dedicate this Josh Groban song to her memory.

May you fly with the Angels my dearest Mum.

ANZAC 25th APRIL...lest we forget

2007-04-25T12:39:00.000+10:00

The youth of Australia in 1915..
On 25 April 1915, the Anzacs (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) landed at a difficult and desolate spot on the Gallipoli peninsula and the Turks appeared to be ready for them, a defeat was inevitable, The Gallipoli campaign was a debacle, Military censorship prevented the true story being told but a young Australian journalist, Keith Murdoch (father of Australian newspaper tycoon Rupert Murdoch) smuggled the story about the scale of the Dardanelles disaster back to the Australian Prime Minister who sent it on to the British Prime Minister David Lloyd George, who was no friend of the British military establishment. It led directly to the dismissal of the British commander, Sir Ian Hamilton who never again was to hold a senior military position.
The British Government ordered an evacuation. By day, the ANZACs kept up their attacks with more ANZACs observed to be landing - by night the force was withdrawn, broken only by sporadic rifle and gunfire. On 20 December 1915, the Anzac retreat was complete, unnoticed by the Turks who continued to bombard the Anzacs' empty trenches. On 9 January 1916, the Turks carried out their last offensive on Gallipoli, revealing only that the entire force had withdrawn without casualty. The evacuation was the Allies most successful operation in Gallipoli.
A British Royal Commission into Gallipoli concluded that from the outset the risk of failure outweighed Its chances of success. The British had contributed 468,000 in the battle for Gallipoli with 33,512 killed. 7,636 missing and 78,000 wounded.
The ANZACs lost 8,000 men in Gallipoli and a further 18,000 were wounded. The ANZACs went on to serve with distinction in Palestine and on the western front in France.
Australia had a population of five million - 330,000 served in the war, 59,000 were killed.
New Zealand with a population of one million lost 18,000 men out of 110,000 and had 55000 wounded.

Find a New Way.....Young Love

Young Love is fronted by singer Dan Keyes, a 24-year-old, 6'6ft tall singer from the middle of Texas. He moved to New York in 2004 to pursue a career in music. In between waiting tables in New York's hip West Village and working at American Apparel during the day, he recorded some demo tracks that got him noticed by DJs and other tastemakers across the city.
