Introduction Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen. It’s a pleasure to be here in London to address the Royal United Services Institute and a great privilege to be delivering the annual Gallipoli Memorial Lecture.
***Check against delivery*** “Bullecourt represents for Australians a greater sum of sorrow and of honour than any other place in the world”, wrote a man who survived the fighting here in 1917.
***Check against delivery*** In the silence of this morning – we gather – remembering those brave and courageous Anzacs that stormed the Gallipoli peninsula 100 years ago today. As they came ashore, the beat of their hearts matching the pace of their boots.
Thank you Prime Minister. As you prepare to depart for this Building Partner Capacity mission today, I want to pay tribute to those you leave behind – your family and your friends. Your vocation to be a soldier is one that you have chosen.
