Today was a very special day. The soldier, Walter Wright Stanger, we have been following was commemorated in a moving ceremony run by the students. I was very proud of the way they conducted themselves and the service. Walter Wright Stanger served at Gallipoli with the 11th Bn, and on the Western Front with the 48th. He died in his battalion's last action. We visited the field of his death, and his final resting place. The rest of the day was a break from military history, shopping in the local city of Amiens.
