ANZAC DAY

On Anzac day, we (My family) went to the museum! We saw some clothing from the 40s - 60s, and decided to try them on. The clothing was thick, and a little heavy. Next to it, were some of the very few items they (The soldiers) packed for the war. They would pack it very tidily. They would pack only 1 pair of socks, a shirt, pants, a toothbrush, a comb, soap, and maybe some chocolate, and an underwear. There package is very tight, and small. The reason why they pack so tight, was because they would have to carry their luggage for weeks, maybe even months! One person also carry's the whole communication system, there's a big computer at the back, with a long antenna on top. Their phones were more like, walkie talkies but almost the size of a book! But before all that, was the telegraph. The telegraph was one of the most secret common communication system all the soldiers used in the war. They would also hack into other lines, and hear what the enemy is saying. The telegraph make short beeps, and long beeps for you to code. And if your really careful, you could listen to what the enemy is saying. You could decode the beeps, and find out where there next attack is, and where there weak, and strong spots are. We also saw some medals. The medals looked interesting, and also have a meaning to it. After the war, the general would present all the medals in a medal ceremony, to all the soldiers that went for the extra miles, and did some bravery out in the battle field. War is ugly and violent, war isn't pretty and not a good thing to talk about but, thanks to all the soldiers that fought and to all who died, for fighting for our freedom, and for these lives. Blog you later!
