If you don't understand the true significance of Gallipoli, then I don't know how it would be possible to explain it to you.
It not only defined our fledgling nation, it defined a generation of men and it defined to the world our determination and steadfast loyalty, despite being a strategic failure (due mostly to the British hierarchy).
There is MUCH more significance to it than what the uneducated think. Even my 9 year old daughter truly understands what it means.
