Andrew Fraser MP - Speech at the Dedication of the Sandakan POW War Memorial

Speech at the Dedication of the Sandakan POW War Memorial
"It is, of course, a deep honour to have been invited to participate in this ceremony this afternoon. For most of the history of the federation we have drawn pride from the commemoration of the feats of our fearless Anzacs. It is often remarked today that in so doing, we are paying tribute not just to the original Anzacs but to the Anzac tradition. Nearly a century may have passed since that fateful landing. However, far from dissipating as time marches on, the reverence to the Anzac tradition has grown stronger in recent years. Younger Australians have populated the crowds that gather at monuments across the nation, and at ceremonies around the world." Read complete speech HERE
