SA:Mentally ill veterans remembered
A large crowd has gathered for the annual Anzac Day march in Adelaide .. marked by
the first flyover by vintage military aircraft.
Earlier about 10-thousand people gathered at the war memorial under clear skies for
the dawn service .. where the crowd was urged to remember war veterans suffering with
mental illness .. especially those who have resorted to taking their own lives.
Meantime South Australian Premier MIKE RANN has announced the state government has
commissioned the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra to prepare a major work to debut in 2015
.. the 100th anniversary of the landing at Gallipoli.
He says the Anzac requiem would draw its inspiration from the men and women of the
defence forces who stood and fought for values Australians continue to share and cherish.
