Gallipoli and the Anzacs

The Anzacs at Gallipoli are an important part of Australia's history and what set us on the road to being a country in our own right.
I would like to think I could have done it but I am really not sure.

It was a tragedy that so many young men died because war was "glorified" and leaders were small minded in WWI. Thinking that the old ways of fighting were still valid against the new technology of the machine gun. That sent so many brave soldiers to their deaths.

I do not glory in war, but I do uphold the bravery and honor in which our young men serve to defend the rights and liberties of our countries. -- “In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children.” --
