I found a documentary which I caught the last 30mins today on TV a great insight into the ANZAC traditions - from both sides. Didnt catch the title. I was always concerned from what I knew of the Gallipoli campaign that many unsound strategic moves had been made.
It was great to hear of the many innovative approaches the Aussies (and English) took including use of air reconnaisance.
We don't have to be proud of war and death, but I feel for all those that died so far away from home. I do believe there is a place for reminding us all what earlier generations fought for. Fortunately most of us find it hard to understand what they endured. Seeing the WWII bullet holes in the Villers-Bretonneux memorial some years ago reminds me that unfortunately people don't always remember.
Thanks for starting the post Dennis, and your obvious maturity whilst keeping it alive. Cheers,
Rob
