ANZAC legend lives on
Veteran Anthony Preston and his son Robert braved the rain to pay tribute to fallen soldiers on ANZAC Day.
The Prestons were among the thousands who gathered in the pre-dawn CBD to march to the Shrine of Remembrance on April 25.
More than 26,000 Australian soldiers have served in Afghanistan since 2001. Some 42 have died on active service.
