    1. ANZAC Day - Remembrance
    2. Richard & Judith Thorpe

    3. I hope that the list won't mind me sending this message, but there have been so many mentions of ANZAC day that I thought some of you might like to know that there is a memorial to Gallipoli at the National Memorial Arboretum near Alrewas in Staffordshire. The Arboretum has lots of memorials to service and veterans organisations, and also to civilian organisations, and there are over 60,000 trees planted in its 150 acres. The trees are very young but already the site is very beautiful and a home to lots of wildlife. Obviously as time goes on it will change dramatically as the trees grow. It is open every day from 10am till 5pm and entry is free though they do like people to give a donation towards the upkeep of the site. With apologies if this isn't appropriate but I thought it might be of interest to some. Judith Thorpe
