Jemma's Canberra Trip - War Memorial 2

It's Bastille day and the Warmo is into this in a big way.  Huge banners out the front.  Inside a lectern and flags were set up.  Out side a sign directing invited guests to a function.




An interesting point to ponder.  Right down Anzac parade there are monuments to various wars and aspects of wars that Australia has fought in.  For example there is a monument to nurses, to the Vietnam war.  Right at the top of Anzac parade in prime position there is a monument to Greece & Turkey.  Complete with flags flying.  Yet no monument to key allies such as the UK & USA.  




The Greek monument reminds me of the Greek economy.  It looks like it is falling apart.  Maybe that is intentional.
