It's definitely a sad thing how our War and Aggression is such a constant in our World's history. ='(jon bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16082859646896477574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-93806949401535283.post-10621024908743365972015-03-12T22:39:32.207-07:002015-03-12T22:39:32.207-07:00Congratulations on a new nephew.

I learnt It's a Long Way to Tipperary when I was a child. It is a song that is usually sung around ANZAC day which is a day that honours fallen Australian and New Zealand soldiers. It use to be about soldiers who died in the World Wars but now it's for all veterans. I heard that during the world wars, recruits use to sing that song when they were marching to catch the train to go to war. I find it sad that not all of them come back.
