100-year-old WWII veteran reflects on Anzac Day and years of service

Century-old World War II veteran Dennis Davis spoke to Sky News about the importance of Anzac Day and his own strongest memories serving in both the Middle East and in New Guinea. Mr Davis, who served in the Australian Army from 1940 to 1945, said despite Anzac Day being “quite a sad time” it’s important for him to remember “all our friends (who) have gone before us”. The war veteran said his strongest memory from his years of service was the Siege of Tobruk in 1941 where Allied forces consisting mostly of Australian soldiers held off the Axis powers from the key port for 240 days. “There was no comparison between the war in the Middle East and the war in New Guinea and Borneo,” Mr Davis said.
