One of my favourite Australian poets, Rupert McCall has written this moving ode “A Hundred Years From Now” as a tribute to our Diggers to commemorate the landing of the ANZACs at Gallipoli, one hundred years ago…
You might also like to read the poem Rupert McCall wrote for the 90 Year Gallipoli Anniversary called “Ninety Years Ago” and performed on ANZAC Day as the sun rose over Anzac Cove.
When you go home,
Tell them of us and say,
“For your Tomorrow
We gave our Today.”
(John Maxwell Edmunds 1916)
So powerful. What a brilliant writer, Rupert McCall. Thanks for sharing this video Miss Y.
It was wonderful to witness the respect and reverence at our whole schol assembly for ANZAC day and it was a proud moment when I watched Lachie, school captain, laying a wreath on behalf of our school, at the Dawn Service at Simpson Army Barracks
We will remember and learn from the past.
Mrs S.
Great values for us all to live by.
Hi Miss Y,
I really enjoyed that film when I saw it. Gives us a reason to be thankful that we’re here!

Hi Daisy,
Rupert McCall is such a wonderful wordsmith. His poem helps us to feel grateful for those ANZACs who gave their lives for us to have the wonderful lives we have today…
