The Ode comes from For the Fallen, a poem by English poet and writer, Laurence Binyon, who was also Assistant Keeper of Prints and Drawings at the British Museum.
THE ODE
They shall grow not old, As we that are left grow old, Age shall not weary them, Nor the years condemn, At the going down of the sun, And in the morning, We will remember them, Lest we forget.
This verse, which became The Ode for the Returned Services League, has been used in commemoration services in Australia since 1921. The Ode comes from For the Fallen, a poem by English poet and writer, Laurence Binyon, who was also Assistant Keeper of Prints and Drawings at the British Museum. For the Fallen was written by Binyon while sitting on a cliff in Cornwall England. It was first published in London’s The Times on 21st September 1914, less than two months after the beginning of World War 1, the War to end all wars. November 11th is poppy day, the time of the year when by the wearing of a simple emblem, a red poppy, we salute the memory of those who sacrificed their health, their strength, even their lives, that we might live in a free country.
It was an honor and a privilege to be invited with my mother Diana Morris to join the Members of Highgate RSL for their annual Remembrance Day Memorial Luncheon at the sensational Fraser’s Restaurant, located in the beautiful Kings Park over looking the fabulous city of Perth, Western Australia. We toasted Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, and all sang the Australian National Anthem with pride.

As a veteran Australian soldier of the decorated 6th Battalion Royal Australian Regiment it is occasions like this that reminds me deeply of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in the defence of our country, our Allies and the freedoms we must continue to strive for and protect.
We remember with gratitude and respect the service to Australia and Allies of our Defence Force Comrades past and present. We acknowledge and thank Highgate RSL Members who provide services at the Western Australian State War Memorial and those who care for the Honour Avenues in Kings Park, Perth Western Australia.
It was indeed a pleasure to meet with the Honourable Kerry Sanderson AC Warden of the State War Memorial and Members in attendance especially World War 2 Veteran Royal Australian Navy Captain Bill Ritchie and my good mate Vietnam Veteran Leon Griffiths of Sword World Australasia who helped organise this special Remembrance Day Memorial Luncheon.

RICHARD WAYNE STUNTSRICHARD WAYNE STUNTS Men and women who don't mind taking risks and love the thrill of danger may want to consider this as a career choice. No specific certification or degree is required to become a stuntman or stuntwoman. It would be very beneficial to have somewhat of a diversified background in various activities, such as gymnastics, fencing, sky diving, scuba diving, rock climbing, martial arts, dirt bike racing and stage combat to name a few. The most important skills required are physical fitness, stamina, strength and coordination. Stuntmen are the "faceless action heroes" of film and television. They work the scenes of the movies that are risky. They do live action stunts that make all of us action film lovers drool. Imagine dangling from a helicopter, driving a Ferrari in a high speed chase on windy mountain roads, jumping off rooftops, slashing an evil doer with a sword, crashing an 18-wheeler, or falling off a cliff. This is just a day in the life of a stuntman. Not everyone can be a stuntman. Stuntmen are highly trained professional performers who take risks as part of their jobs. Every stunt is executed exactly as planned, practiced, rehearsed, rehearsed, rehearsed, rehearsed and reviewed. Stunts are designed to be as safe as possible. A beautifully choreographed sequence is amazing to watch but in reality takes days or even weeks to set up. Stuntmen average $70,000 per year. If you’re newer to the industry, you may only make $5,000 per year. It all depends on how much work you manage to find. The highest end stuntmen can make up to $250,000 per year. All it takes is one stunt to make money – the highest paid stunt ever was $150,000 for jumping off the CN Tower in Toronto. That’s about a $15,000 per second. Stuntmen love their jobs. They get to do death defying stunts and get paid for it. So if high speed boat chases, ninja fights in temples, diving with sharks, parachuting into lakes, walking on walls, or climbing a building sound better than staring at a computer screen, you should look at a career as a stuntman.-
