Ted admits to a good night’s sleep on Anzac night following the hectic schedule to ensure the dawn and main service went as smoothly as possible.
He was kept awake the night before checking weather maps and though he thought the dawn service might avoid the rain, he didn’t see the squall coming from the south.
