24.01.2022 ANZAC Day , ANZAC Cove 100th 2015 https://flic.kr/s/aHska2bNQU

24.01.2022 No matter where you are in the world, ANZAC DAY 2020 was a memorable one. Totally isolated on Daydream Island Resort we made it happen.

22.01.2022 As ANZAC Day approaches, here’s another Military Artwork and Poem to ponder: THE LIGHT HORSEMAN Australia has a legend that through her sons lives on. Born from amidst the colonies; a horseman thereupon. He derives from hardy stockmen; a yeoman cavalier.... He’s been tested under fire; a man with little fear. To most countries he has travelled; through many wars he’s been. He’s by far the strangest soldier the world has ever seen. He’s a rider; he’s a fighter; a rogue; a gentleman. He’s the devil with mobility; a fearless guardian. With loyalty beyond reproach that one should never spurn. This man’s respect is not a thing that you may easily earn. He’s always unpredictable and lives the life of whim. He doesn’t take it seriously; it’s all a game to him. He’s a reckless man, a braggart, but in truth he’s earned his due. There is little that he says that he can’t ever do. While time has changed the horsemen’s job to a different art. And years have passed since last they charged; he’s still the same at heart. Even though his steed has altered, he knows when things get grim. The spirit of the Light Horseman will always ride with him. https://www.iancoate.com/ See more

17.01.2022 As ANZAC Day approaches, here’s another Military Poem that focuses on the role animals have played in maintaining our privileges and way of life: THE MILITARY DOG We’ve lost another soldier our firm and faithful friend. So swift of feet and strong of heart - so loyal to the end. He was a combat soldier ideal in every way... In action he was fearless the first into the fray. He was my shield between our foes my sword within a fight. My ears within the stillness my eyes within the night. We bonded in our training he had a trooper’s soul. If not for his protection we couldn’t do our role. And now he has departed he served his country true. So don’t forget my loyal mate who died for me and you.

13.01.2022 The most powerful 10 minute scene you will ever find that depicts what ANZAC Day ultimately symbolises.

13.01.2022 A tribute to our Military Women Lest We Forget. This is a collage of the past artworks Ian Coate has created featuring our ladies in the military. Sorry that it is so limited depicting the roles that woman have played in our services. He apologies for not have a military poem in tribute to our ladies one day He will remedy that. Also, a big acknowledgement to the WRAACs who celebrate their 70th birthday next year. Ian has the privilege of being married to one of those fine women (top right hand corner of the artwork). https://www.iancoate.com/

11.01.2022 How did you commemorate ANZAC Day 2020 this year?

08.01.2022 Here’s the last Military Poem Ian will be posting to honour our ANZACs for you to ponder. (And regarding the artwork, there is no disrespect intended for groups not depicted all should be remembered). ANZACs Then ANZACs Still Our ANZACs are an honoured group they have two nation’s pride. Today we have so much because: they fought, they bled, they died.... The ANZAC soul can still be found, in those who choose to serve. Courage, humour and mateship, are values they preserve. Our diggers all deserve respect; there’s few that have their skill. They proved that they were ANZACs then they prove they’re ANZACs still. Artwork and Poem by Ian Coate https://www.iancoate.com/

06.01.2022 Ian Coates new artwork. Ian loves telling a stories through his pictures. Hopefully these three silhouettes are a small reminder of the past sacrifice and loss on our behalf it’s the reason we stop to remember every ANZAC Day. LEST WE FORGET and repeat the past. https://iancoate.com/
