For their tomorrow “For your tomorrow, we gave our today.” It’s a line from a poem that could have been written by Major Gordon Benfell, pictured here with grandchildren Indiana and Ryder.
The retired 52-year Army vet of Tauranga faced the heat of live combat 33 times. As six-year-old Indiana says: “I think ‘Da’ faced a lot of shooting for us”. On Tuesday,
April 25, ANZAC Day, we honour Gordon Benfell – those who served, those who still serve and those who died in service. “We fought so you could have the freedom. And
I am proud to have contributed a little bit to the quality of life my mokopuna enjoy today.” An Anzac story, a soldier’s story, Da’s story is on pages 6-7. Photo: John Borren.
