What does “Lest We Forget” actually mean?
This video takes a factual look at the original meaning behind one of Australia’s most iconic phrases. Using quotes from prime ministers, generals, and war-time records, we explore what the ANZACs really fought for — and how that meaning has been distorted over time.

Far from being a vague tribute, “Lest We Forget” was once tied directly to preserving Australia’s national identity, culture, and values — including its immigration policies, British heritage, and Christian foundations.

We walk through the historical documents, speeches, and official military records to understand what was truly at stake and why Australians of the past believed their sacrifices were made to protect not just the land — but a way of life.

👉 If you're tired of modern-day politicians and media twisting the meaning of ANZAC Day, this video brings the receipts.
