The last walk...

[gus]

Walked into the city to get my licence back today. City Hall had a display on of WWI Colour photos. Thought i'd try my hand at taking a photo of a photo.

They had no worries with me filming in there.

My grandfather was sent here after Gallipoli...they fought other battles into the coldest french winter in 100 years (these blokes were Australian farm boys & had never felt cold weather before) My grandfather had no time for kids but did tell us of the places. He said that you prayed for a shell to land near by & when it did there was a rush to be 1st into a dry hole. I can remember when i was a kid he would still wake in the middle of the night screaming some 50 years later. He was shoot twice & Mustard gassed once but still smoked plug tobacco & drank scotch til he was 90.
