War And Remembrance- War Since Ww2 - The Long Journey Home Poem by Paul Warren

We did our duty and have been laid down in Foreign Fields
For these years our families have refused to yield
Wanting us to return on our final journey as it is made
To our home of the wide brown land - our glory will not fade

We heard the call years ago and served Australia so far from home
And died in battle and on duty away from family - how time has flown
So on the 2nd June 2016 we 33 duty bound to stay came home at last
After 50 years your grief for us has touched us all from our past

For we are now home.
