Tony Abbott Statement on Afghanistan
In his official history,Old Force Passes, Charles Bean said of the soldiers of the first AIF:
“What these men did nothing now can alter. The good and the bad, the greatness and the smallness of their story will stand. Whatever glory it contains, nothing now can lessen. It rises, as it will always rise, above the mists of ages, a monument to great hearted men; and for their nation a possession forever”.
