A few words from the New Zealand Prime Minister on Anzac Day 2020.
When Stuff asked for letters for our Anzac Day coverage, we were swamped with replies. Many people wrote lovingly about their relatives and the importance of the documents. Most of the items told a story, often tragic, about the trauma of war and the lasting impact on families. The documents held a sense of mana in the families, keeping the memory alive of someone that, in some cases, had died over a 100 years ago. Carole Brown from Titahi Bay provided two collections. One was from Carole’s father, Maurice Cammish, to his mother from the Libyan Desert in mid-November 1941, detailing an attack and withdrawal under heavy fire.
