When your father has only recently been killed in Vietnam, Anzac Day holds much more significance than to other eight or nine year olds. That is why Robert Gilbert, 9, (second from right) proudly wore his fathers medals while standing with his brother Donald, 8, (second from left). With the boys are Lynda Miles, 12, and James Cowdroy, 10, (left), they were attending an Anzac Day ceremony at Holsworthy Primary School. Corporal George Gilbert, of 5th Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (5RAR), was killed in Vietnam on 9 March this year. Both Lynda's and James' fathers are serving in Vietnam at the moment. Anzac Day is a solemn occasion at Holsworthy Primary School, where all students are the children of soldiers.
