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