Guest fentiger Posted 18 August , 2006 Share Posted 18 August , 2006 Could any one out there please tell me the poem that was quoted at the end of the TV series ANZACS! I have tried all over the net to no avail! Cheers Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotonmate Posted 21 August , 2006 Share Posted 21 August , 2006 Colin Does it contain the Ode of Remembrance (at the going down of the sun..............) ? If so it's a 7 verse poem called "For the Fallen" by Laurence Binyon. This poem is read as part of ANZAC Day commemorations all over AUS / NZ. http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/for_the_fallen Best wishes Sotonmate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotonmate Posted 22 August , 2006 Share Posted 22 August , 2006 Colin The website ref I quoted has been obscured by the underlining of it by this site ! The part For_The_Fallen is the important link. Sotonmate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auimfo Posted 22 August , 2006 Share Posted 22 August , 2006 Unless it's this one. I think it's quoted somewhere in there as well. Back By Wilfrid Gibson They ask me where I've been, And what I've done and seen. But what can I reply Who know's it wasn't I, But some one just like me, Who went across the sea And with my head and hands Killed men in foreign lands... Though I must bear the blame, Because he bore my name. Tim L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frev Posted 23 August , 2006 Share Posted 23 August , 2006 Hi guys - just cheated and had a quick look at my DVD - any excuse to get the emotions stirred up!! Colin - it was the 'Ode of Remembrance' that was quoted at the end of the episode. Back in Australia, the townsfolk are unveiling their Memorial, and young Roly Collins is called upon to give the Ode. [the 4th verse of 'For the Fallen' as per Sotonmate's post] A little earlier however, while still at the front, Roly & Kate are standing in the cemetery before the 8th Bn Memorial, and Kate reads from a piece of paper that Roly has with him - the poem 'Back' [as per Tim's post] They both brought a tear to my eye - yet again! Cheers, Frev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
