And there's a muckle to think upon in what I've seen.

Sad sichts they were, a many of them.

In yon time when I was there before the world was a' at peace.

Men went aboot their business, you in Australia, underneath the world, wi' no thought of trouble brewing.

But other men, in Europe, thousands of miles way, were laying plans that meant death and the loss of hands and een for those braw laddies o' Australia and New Zealand that I saw--those we came to ken sae weel as the gallant Anzacs.
It makes you realize, seeing countries so far awa' frae a' the war, and yet suffering so there from, how dependent we all are upon one another.
