Lone Pine Designs: Lest We Forget...

Lone Pine Designs

"Lone Pine Designs" originated when I first moved to America in 2005 from Australia. My mother in Australia called our new home in NH "Lone Pine" as she wanted my new home, which is surrounded by pine trees, to have an Australian name. The Battle of Lone Pine is a very famous successful Australian battle which took place during the Gallipoli war in Turkey in 1915. It was called The Battle of Lone Pine for the solitary pine tree standing in the middle of the battlefield which surprisingly remained standing at the end of the battle. After the tough few months leading up to our arrival here in America and surviving the first year in a new country I felt like that pine tree still standing in the battlefield. It was in 2006 when I started to sell my work on Ebay that I decided that Lone Pine Designs would be the perfect name for this new endeavour in my life.

Lest We Forget...

On the 25th of April in Australia we celebrate Anzac Day. Anzac Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand, and is commemorated by both countries to honour members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps who fought at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War I.

The Ode of Remembrance, recited at ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day services throughout the British Commonwealth, contains "Lest we forget" as its final line...as we think about those that have sacrificed so much for us let us also remember those that are working so hard for peace and keep them and their families in our prayers.
