In Wellington (our capitil city) on the 11th of this month starting at the 11th hour, the ceremony to entomb the Unknown Warrior began. This warrior was exhumed from France where he was buried following the conclusion of World War one. We have always had yearly parades for our war dead but now we have a nother reason to remember. I believe having one of those brave souls over here after so long is good for all of us. I had tears in my eyes when the entourage with full military honours made its way to the tomb. This could even be a relative of mine, thats the great thing about it, the whole country is buzzing about how it could be their father or grandfather......<br />The honour and pride of all our dead overseas got a boost with this event. <br />We will never forget....<br />Ross
