Speaker 7: At this hour upon the twenty fifth of April. In
Speaker 7: nineteen fifteen, Anzac became one of the immortal names in history.
Speaker 7: We who are gathered here think of those who went
Speaker 7: out to the battlefields of all wars but did not return.
Speaker 7: We feel them still near us in spirit. We wish
Speaker 7: to be worthy of their great sacrifice. Let us therefore
Speaker 7: once more dedicate ourselves to the ideals for which they died.
Speaker 7: As the dawn is even now about to pierce the night,
Speaker 7: so let their memory inspire us to work for the
Speaker 7: coming new light into the dark places of the world.

Speaker 3: by Australians and New Zealanders at anzac Cove more than

Speaker 3: and gentlemen, with those who are able to do so,
Speaker 3: please stand. As Principal Chaplain Jason Wright of the Royal
Speaker 3: Australian Navy leads us in prayer.
Speaker 8: In this solemn moment, in this silence, recognizing that many
Speaker 8: of you have come from various backgrounds, beliefs and traditions.
Speaker 8: Though I'll be praying according to the Christian tradition, I
Speaker 8: invite you to reflect as is appropriate to you. Let
Speaker 8: us pray Eternal God in the quiet of this morning,
Speaker 8: help us to remember the sacrifices of all who gave
Speaker 8: their lives and futures in defense of their homes, their families,
Speaker 8: their loved ones, and this nation. We remember and thank
Speaker 8: them for the peace and security they strove to bring
Speaker 8: to these lands. We hold up to you the sailors, soldiers,
Speaker 8: and aviators who continue to defend our nation and its interests.
Speaker 8: We are especially grateful for the families who, with great sacrifice,
Speaker 8: support their loved ones in service, bearing the weight of
Speaker 8: separation with grace and strength. We grieve with those who
Speaker 8: mourn the loss of their loved ones, and pray for
Speaker 8: those who carry the physical, spiritual, and emotional scars at
Speaker 8: their service. May the memories of those who have sacrificed
Speaker 8: so much ignite a flame of hope within us, inspiring
Speaker 8: us to strive for a world defined by love for others,
Speaker 8: and a world where we walk together with compassion and understanding. Amen.
Speaker 8: And now like to invite you to join them me
Speaker 8: in saying the Lord's prayer, Our Father, who art in Heaven, Hello,
Speaker 8: be thy name, thy Kingdom. Come. Thy will be done
Speaker 8: on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this
Speaker 8: day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as
Speaker 8: we forgive those who trespass against us, And lead us
Speaker 8: not into temptation, but deliver us from ear, for Thine
Speaker 8: is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory forever
Speaker 8: and ever. Amen.
Speaker 3: This morning's Dawn Service Address will be delivered by the
Speaker 3: Deputy Chief of Navy, Rear Admiral Matt Buckley.
Speaker 9: It's a great privilege to be with you this morning
Speaker 9: to honor the service and sacrifice of Australians over many
Speaker 9: generations to our nation in all wars and in the
Speaker 9: sometimes fractious peace the bridges major conflict. Our history tells
Speaker 9: us much about who we are as a nation. It
Speaker 9: illustrates that a culture of service is and always has
Speaker 9: been the beating heart of our national identity. The Gallipoli
Speaker 9: Campaign have been going for nearly a month when eighteen
Speaker 9: year old Sergeant William Henry Buck arrived at anzy Cove
Speaker 9: with the fifth Australian Lighthorse Regiment on the nineteenth of
Speaker 9: May nineteen fifteen. Four days later, a short armistice was
Speaker 9: held so that both sides could bury their dead. Sergeant
Speaker 9: Buck and his men got to work helping to clear
Speaker 9: the thousands of dead bodies between the trenches. This set
Speaker 9: the tone for the months that would follow. For seven
Speaker 9: months at Gallipoli, Sergeant Buck's regiment never left the front
Speaker 9: firing line. In some places it was only twenty meters
Speaker 9: from enemy trenches. The whole time, it felt like everything
Speaker 9: on the peninsula was trying to kill them. Bombs, artillery
Speaker 9: and sniper fire were a persistent threat. The men were dirty, thirsty,
Speaker 9: and disease was rife. It was a hell on earth.
Speaker 9: Sergeant Buck would carry the brutal memories of Gallipoli for
Speaker 9: the rest of his life. After the war, he returned
Speaker 9: to Australia and started a family. At the outset of
Speaker 9: the Second World War, Sergeant Buck volunteered again, just as
Speaker 9: determined to serve his country. This time he supported the
Speaker 9: war effort at home, using what he had learned at
Speaker 9: Gallipoli to train new diggers joining the fight. He was
Speaker 9: followed into service by his son, Keith, Trooper Keith Cyrilbuck
Speaker 9: was nineteen when he joined the army. He served in
Speaker 9: the second sixth Australian Commando Squadron in New Guinea and
Speaker 9: Maratai in New Guinea. The squadron spent seven months conducting
Speaker 9: long range reconnaissance patrols and capturing ground ahead of the
Speaker 9: main force. Along with the physical brutality of war, the
Speaker 9: unrelenting hyper alertness of jungle warfare left many of these
Speaker 9: men with emotional scars. At the end of the Second
Speaker 9: World War, Trooper Buck volunteered to continue his service with
Speaker 9: the British Commonwealth Occupational Force in Japan. When his duty
Speaker 9: was finally over, he returned to Australia and became the
Speaker 9: father of two sons, Dennis and Raymond. Both sons follow
Speaker 9: their father and grandfather into service with the Navy and
Speaker 9: the Air Force, respectively. In nineteen seventy one. Chief Petty
Speaker 9: Officer Dennis Keith Buck served in the Royal Australian Navy
Speaker 9: for eight years as a marine technician sub mariner, conducting
Speaker 9: special operations in the Indo Pacific with the Silent Service.
Speaker 9: The Submarine Force. Warrant Officer Raymond William Buck served in
Speaker 9: the Royal Australian Air Force as an aviation technician for
Speaker 9: twenty six years, including a three year tour in Malaysia.
Speaker 9: Both brothers served during the Cold War, a period of
Speaker 9: heightened strategic tension between the world's great powers. There was
Speaker 9: an ever present threat of escalation to nuclear war. Service
Speaker 9: during this time required steady hands. Their service contributed decades
Speaker 9: of relative peace and prosperity. Allowing Australia to grow into
Speaker 9: the nation we know today. Keith, now one hundred and
Speaker 9: two years old, along with his sons Dennis and Raymond Buck,
Speaker 9: are commemorating this Anzac Day together in Brisbane, reflecting on
Speaker 9: their service, the mates they serve with, and those who
Speaker 9: didn't come home. The Buck family story is synonymous with
Speaker 9: Australia's culture of service, a culture through which sons and
Speaker 9: daughters have answered their nation's call in times of peril,
Speaker 9: undeterred by the suffering of their parents and grandparents at
Speaker 9: war and on the home front during war. As I
Speaker 9: look at my own sons, young men of fifteen, seventeen
Speaker 9: and nineteen, I think about all of the families who
Speaker 9: sent their young sons and daughters off to war, just
Speaker 9: like my own sons. They had their whole lives ahead
Speaker 9: of them, but many of them would not return if
Speaker 9: dark days should come again. I am confident that their
Speaker 9: generation and those who follow will do what is required.
Speaker 9: May the stories of every sailor, soldier and aviator who
Speaker 9: has served our nation at war, in competition, and in
Speaker 9: crisis be remembered, and may the spirit of those more
Speaker 9: than one hundred and three thousand Australians on the Wall
Speaker 9: of remembrance behind me, who may the ultimate sacrifice be
Speaker 9: with us always lest we forget.
Speaker 3: Rear Admiral Buckley, thank you for your words. Ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 3: For those who were seated, please stand as the ode
Speaker 3: is recited by the President of the Act Branch of
Speaker 3: the Returned and Services League of Australia, Mister Peter Baldwin.
Speaker 3: The ode will be followed by the last post, a
Speaker 3: minute's silence, and the revalley.
Speaker 10: They shall not grow old, as peeze at the left
Speaker 10: grow old. They shall not weary them, nor the years
Speaker 10: can doom at the going down of the sun, and
