The ANZAC button: A retell by Ebes

Back in  WW1 ANZAC soldiers wore buttons on their khaki jacket which were very significant.They say a the shinier the button  the bigger the soldiers pride, they say the button saved lives and felt the soldiers heartbeat and fear.After the war the khaki jacket was put deep in the soldiers wardrobe "it seldom saw the light of day".One 25th of April each year it got to see the light of day once again.It was polished and heard the wail of the  bugle,the slow,sad beat of the drum then off to the closet for another year of waiting." The years passed slowly" but the soldier did not  take the jacket out then one day the door cluttered open and light rushed into the closet.The soldiers great granddaughter  took the khaki jacket out of the wardrobe the jacket was very stinky and was covered in moth holes.The mother showed the girl a picture of her great grandad right before the button saved him.The girl then took the buttons out of the jacket and made a necklace out of it she then wore it everywhere in respect of her grandad.
