Why do we wear rosemary




















Combine oats, sifted flour, sugar and coconut in a large bowl. Place butter, syrup spray the measuring spoon with cooking oil, so all the syrup comes away and the water in a small saucepan; stir over low heat until smooth. Stir in soda, then stir into dry ingredients. Roll level tablespoons of mixture into balls; place 5cm apart on trays, flatten slightly. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden; cool on trays. Make a note on the recipe of the time and oven temperature that the biscuits were baked.

The awarding of medals remains one of the most time-honoured, cherished, and sacred traditions in the culture and history of the Australian Defence Force.

Only the women and men who were issued medals may claim them as their own — by wearing them on their left breast. Family members of veterans, who did not earn the medals but choose to honour their loved ones by wearing them, may do so on the right breast. At a glance, veterans can see which service and unit the wearer was attached to, where they served, if they deployed overseas on operations, as well as whether they served with great honour, bravery or distinction.

Some medals denote extraordinary service in aerial flight, some are specific to ground operations, while others are reserved only for those who served at sea. However, the origin stems back to the traditional military stand-to: a state of readiness assumed by ground troops at dawn and dusk in wartime, in case of a surprise enemy attack. Where and when the first Dawn Service took place is another hotly contested debate. It was first published in and, by , had been adopted for use at Australian commemorative services.

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.

The State War Memorial in Kings Park is considered one of the most stunning Dawn Service locations, underpinning the power of those words. Some will attend morning services, some will march and some will just sit quietly, many will shed a tear and we will all remember. Through ancient history to modern times; across cultures and countries, folklore and science rosemary has been a symbol of love, trust, friendship and loyalty. Greek scholars wore rosemary garlands to help them remember.

Of most significance, rosemary directly links Australians to Gallipoli where rosemary grew wild across the peninsula. Automated page speed optimizations for fast site performance. Photo: Lincoln Beddoe "Please wear a sprig of rosemary", the lady said And held one out, but I shook my head.

Then I stopped and watched as she offered them there, And her face was old and lined with care; But beneath the scars the years had made There remained a smile that refused to fade. A boy came whistling down the street, Bouncing along on carefree feet His smile was full of joy and fun, "Lady," said he, "may I have one? He loved to play and jump and shout, Free as a bird he would race about.
