My feelings for him vary. I feel torn apart for his family and their loss but proud because of the honor he had for our country and town. He was brave and showed the ANZAC spirit. Dear Harold Roy Stanley Field: Thank you. You taught me the importance of the ANZAC spirit. You showed me that war is terror, I am proud. I can't begin to describe how much I have learned during my research. Not just from you but from our ANZAC legends. The sacrifice to save our people, The heartache you experienced and the physical, emotional and mental pain you had to live up to each and every single day. The risk of putting your life on the line so that here, right now I can sit comfortably in my own home. ANZAC day is comming up and I've realised just how important it is to never forget. Always remember. Your courage gives me hope. Lest We Forget.-------------
