Hey Everyone! If I were to ask you 'what's something that instills a lot of nostalgia in you?' chances are music would be pretty high up on your list. It's crazy how much impact listening to a particular son, album or artist can have on your emotions and memories - at how you can be transported back to a moment in time and feel like you did then. I'm a very nostalgic person, so music is something I always love to revisit - jamming out to some of my favourite tunes from the past while remembering some great times and amazing people. Because I'm such a nostalgic person, I created an entire nostalgia playlist on Spotify, and I thought I'd share with you just some of those songs and what they mean to me. But don't worry, I'm not going to go over ever single one of the 170 plus songs, just some of my favourites and the ones that have a story connected to them. Hey Everyone, This Wednesday is Anzac Day here is Australia. This year, it will mark the 103rd anniversary of the Australian and New Zealand troops landing at Gallipoli. Over the past 100 years, the day has become Australia's day to stop and commemorate those who have fought for our country in all military operations - to remember those who gave their lives and celebrate those who returned. Most families will have someone who served in either World Wars, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf Wars and current peace-keeping operation, and so Anzac day is one to reflect on those people. For me, I have a number of connections to Australia's military service during the 20th century - my grandfather served as a transport driver in the R.A.A.F. during World War Two, serving in the Northern Territory and the Pacific. I've also had a number of ancestral relatives serve in Vietnam, World War Two, World War One and the Boer War. But today, I want to talk about one ancestor - my great great uncle - who fought in World War One - Private W.T. Johns. |
