Brave And Forgotten Soldiers Persuasive Speech

710 Words3 Pages

How do you feel knowing that there are hundreds of thousands of unrecognised soldiers out there that have fought for our country and have never came home and also how many are still lying there in the western front today? I am here today to share with you why we must replace our brave and forgotten soldiers memorial with a much bigger and better cenotaph and much better gardens filled with poppies and rosemary plants and other vibrant plants to make their garden stand out so visitors and our own staff and students will notice it and take a minute to stand and remember our brave and innocent soldiers. Here are my reasons why, 1st of all average and everyday Australians and so called black diggers gave up their life, career and family to protect …show more content…

It was impossible for men not to die due to the constant gun fires, but even though the chance of surviving were slim they took that chance knowing that it was what had to be done and that they would do anything to protect our country even if it included seeing your best mate get shot or even yourself. Our soldiers took pride in our country and kept that pride with them until the day they died. The ones that survived and returned home had serious mental issues and most ended in suicide even with years of …show more content…

The weekly income was far from enough to keep everything happy and healthy at home. Times were rough on the western front but they knew how to move on and keep fighting. How happy do you think our soldiers will feel when they come to find that Australia is a happy and wealthy country due to their contributions but then how upset do you think they’ll be when they come to find that Calamvale has not taken enough time and effort to at least build a decent cenotaph to remember the thousands that have passed fighting for our nation. “Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few”. Winston Churchill august 20 1942. I believe we should rebuild our remembrance cenotaph with a bigger and better one and also make our gardens have flowers and plants rather than a few dying plants and dirt, is this how we want to remember them? Lest we forget their heart lest we forget their soul and lest we forget them."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

Guiding Ideas for the exhibitions Charles Bean made clear his wishes for the memorial to maintain a solemn tone focusing on commemoration and steering clear from the glorification of war, or triumph over enemy. Instead, he urged ‘relics’ to be used over ‘trophies’ and discouraged derogatory terms when describing former enemies in war. He wanted the exhibits to be designed for maximum understanding, but also interest of viewers, even “75 years after the

When Australians think of our famous soliders that fought in war, we immediatly think of John Simpson Kirkpatrick. Although his conribution to Australians defence was great, our highest ranked solider Sir John Monash did even greater things on and off the battle field. He was a univeristy trained engineer, he graduated with a Bachelor of the Arts and also his defence skills and training helped our country of Australia to win numerous battles (see image 1). In the years in which these battles occurred, many people did not know the contribution this man made for Australia. Nowadays we respect his dedication and what skills he brought to our line of defence.

The Western Front ran from the border of Switzerland all the way to the North Sea and raged on from 1914-1918. There was a total of 32 countries involved in the “Great War” and Australia was one of them. For long enough has Gallipoli been the forefront of Australia's pride and it is about time the Western Front had the same recognition. On the Western Front the soldiers had to endure malaria, typhoid and trench fever. The Australians fought on the Western Front from 1916-1918 and had more success in Pozieres, Passchendaele and Fromelles than the whole Gallipoli Campaign.

During World War One, there was a battle, which, while not as well known as Gallipoli, which finished only 6 months prior, is certainly just as significant to Australians both past and present. The battle of Fromelles saw thousands of soldiers die in less that one day, and although being regarded as a complete and utter failure, has taught Australians the importance of individuals. It has also taught people that war is not fun and games, the way it is romanticized in film and television, but is truly, indescribably inhumane and murderous. Good or bad, the battle of Fromelles cannot be called anything less than significant. The battle of Fromelles is often regarded as the most severe and overtly pointless battle that Australians fought throughout World War One.

Charles Bean wrote “By dawn on December 20th Anzac had faded into a dim blue line lost amid other hills on the horizon as the ships took their human freight to Imbros, Lemnos and Egypt. But Anzac stood, and still stands, for reckless valour in a good cause, for enterprise, resourcefulness, fidelity, comradeship, and endurance that will never own defeat,” (Awm.gov.au, 2015) stating the qualities of the Anzac Spirit and how they should be valued above all others, as they “will

There is typically a definitive reason behind why a particular memorial is placed where it is, especially when the memorial commemorates a certain war. There is no doubt that the United State’s involvement in the division of Vietnam is questionable, however, American lives were taken away from their friends and families as a result of the government’s decision to go to war. The lives of those who fought for our nation were cut short, and their remembrance will surely be lost in time if they are not memorialized. Memorials are representative of past memories, both good and bad, and are largely developed out of respect towards those who lost their lives. Providing the public with a memorial, such as the Philadelphia Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial, allows for the people to gain further insight into the events that led up the present; past events define the modern world.

Two years ago, Arlington National Cemetery, one of the nation’s oldest cemeteries, celebrated its sesquicentennial anniversary of substantial historical and moral significance. Founded after the American Civil War, the cemetery has been home to many of our fallen heroes, particularly those who have died during conflicts with American involvement and people of considerable national significance, such as presidents. The cemetery is one of extensive size and holds many monuments to memorialize the fallen.

As patriotic Australians we pride ourselves to be a nation that accepts and respects the beliefs of all cultures, but on this historical day majority of Australians tend to forget the true meaning behind the celebration. If you ask today’s society, what they did this Australia day mass numbers would respond with “binged on alcohol” and “indulged in a barbecue.” Consequently, this day cannot be called a national celebration when some of our fellow Australians are grieving while others are out celebrating an occasion they know little about. Giving due regard to the indigenous people and their mostly negative perspective on this issue should be a priority. A new date, not the 26th of January should be established, as rather than unite, it seems to divide Australians into different viewpoints.
