they bit the bullet for england during the first world war. their losses at Gallipoli haunted Churchill for the rest of his life.

I never heard of Anzac day, but I am aware of the senseless slaughter of the Austrailian volunteers at the hands of the turks at Gallipoli.  As with all selfless sacrifices that result in massive carnage and needless loss of life, it should be remembered.

Unfortunately history DOES reapeat itself.
