ANZAC Remembrance Day in 2020 was commemorated in a unique way due to the Covid-19 pandemic lock down. Rather than meeting for dawn services and parades, New Zealanders stood at 0600 by their letter boxes and listened to morning sparrows, radio broadcast programmes and neighborhood bagpipes with somberness and tears as across the country echos of "We shall remember them" were whispered.
This story is from my collection of short fiction titled 'This Old Stick,' and forms a poignant backdrop for the emotions of April 25, 'Remembrance Day.'
