It was an honour and privilege to reflect upon the immense sacrifice that so many made in Europe in WW2. It is also a stark reminder that peace cannot be taken for granted as war continues into its fourth year in Ukraine.
Deputy High Commissioner @NickCrouch7 and Brigadier Nigel Best, on behalf of the UK in Australia team, honoured the bravery of a generation alongside the Governor General at the @AWMemorial.
