Subscriber only Residents at Southern Cross Care Banora Point are coming together to keep the Anzac spirit alive and honour veterans and service members. This year, the residents are happy the ceremonial aspects of the day will be a little more normal after COVID-19 restrictions have eased since 2020. Two remarkable veterans living at the aged care facility share their stories about their service. Leslie Atkinson was 12 years old when World War Two began. The 94-year-old had grown up in London and was evacuated to the country area of England to avoid the German bombing of buildings at the time, known as The Blitz.
