This year's Anzac Day will be a somewhat quiet affair given the global pandemic. However, across Australia and New Zealand families are paying tribute to those they lost with candles on balconies and window sills. Photo reproduced by kind permission of Duncan Campbell.

In memory of the Aussies lost March 4/5, 1943
​F/O Harry Riding  (Wireless Operator)  — RAAF 403699 (Age 25)
