Sometimes the smallest things can have the most significant impact on our lives. For Jenny Bean, who was the guest speaker at Enfield’s Anzac Day service on Sunday, small things collected during her childhood – such as her grandfather’s medals and scarab beetle ring, her grandmother and great-grandmother’s lockets containing pictures of the men they loved, war games and books that contained snippets of war-like experiences – were all subconscious influences on her life and her values. “The values of service, tradition, honour, doing the right thing for the greater good, leadership, discipline – all of these small things led me to the military,” she said.
