Here is some simple yet an honor to create for the 25th of April which is a very important day for Australia and New Zealand, it honors the fallen in all wars and peace keeping rolls since WWI. The day we simply call ANZAC DAY.

On every ANZAC DAY this is spoken more than once.....

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Lest We Forget.

Very nice, Lightningtiger. I myself was planning on posting some Anzacs tomorrow. (One of them looks exactly like yours.)

Thanks 'YG-49' for your kind comments - I'm glad I hade those Indy parts at home - I was hoping to make a MOC based around artwork/posters from WWI - still might in the near future !
Keep on bricking and once again Lest We Forget !

Nice MOC, really captures the spirit of ANZAC day.

Excellent little vig lightningtiger, the lack of loads of detail really sells it as a raw representation, and certainly a respectful one.

Thank you 'jonwil' and 'Batbrick' for your kind comments - I felt that war is not pretty and a simple soldier running and jumping into the heat of battle knowing full well he might die would be right and fitting for the 25th of April.
Keep on bricking and Lest We Forget !

Great MOC lightningtiger, sometimes simplicity is best-I need to follow that on my creations. I love the poem, especially since I come from a family of servicemen/women. You should make something for Memorial Day too.
