@gbe: Thanks. How can I help you with this? It was part of our National Anzac Day where soldiers and people involved with the wars march in memorial. I caught this group waiting to march. I have a whole series of photos from this day. Just street photography that's all.

A wonderful photo. I happen to be reading a book about an australian living in france , and I'm part french, as a lot of australians are and as we all came close to being! I am slowly going through all your photos (we're on dial up) and was saving the anzac ones as a treat as I knew I'd love them :)
