A very nice series!
And these events are worth remembering.
Hi modernstamps
I had ancestors from both sides of the family who went to Gallipoli and to the Somme in France, some who went to the Somme never came back.
It is a every important event every year celebrating all wars Australia had entered, though it was originally intended to celebrate those that had fallen and those that had returned in WWI.
There are other stamps depicting past conflicts and those that have won gallantry medals, and a set of stamps depicting Victoria Cross winners and the Victoria Cross itself, Australia's highest military honour (the civilian version is the George Cross of very similar design).
