Students Hannah Young and Brodie Seelan from Nayland College, and Nelson College for Girls Head Girl Anna Sawyer spoke, remembering their grandparents and great-grandparents who fought in both World Wars. Brigadier Sean Trengrove spoke at the service about a lesser-known Anzac battle, one that took place on Anzac day in 1951 in Kapyong, South Korea. “The Anzacs had been looking forward to a joint Anzac Day parade, that would have also featured Turkish soldiers – time heals old wounds,” he said.
