25th April ~ Anzac Day. A day of great importance to so many Australian & New Zealanders. On this the 100th Anniversary
we remembered those who lost their lives in the defence of their belief in country and freedom.

Herbie Cooke who attended school in our village landed on Gallipoli on 25/4/1915 and died 5 days later on 30/4 1915....he was 21 yrs of age
He lies alongside 285 Australians at BEACH CEMETERY (391 burials)which is a curved plot 80m in length just above the point of Hell Spit facing the sea and was used throughout the occupation.

also buried there is this man who all Australians know http://www.pbase.com/lainesphotos/image/156391055
