"Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives you are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets where they lie side by side here in this country of ours You the mothers who sent their sons from far away countries, wipe away your tears. Your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. Having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well."Mustafa Kemal Atatrk

Wow ! That's a great memorial.
Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

There were others there...my people http://lancashirelanding.weebly.com/lancashire-landing-1915.htmlNo disrespect to my adopted country, Australia, but plenty of my grandparents' neighbours and relatives were there too. In 1945 Winston Churchill was booed in Burnley, my home town, by people who had lost sons and husbands at Gallipoli, Churchill's brain child. Please, no misinterpretation of my comments...Churchill was a great man, and by jesus, the Anzacs paid top dollar...but so did my people and they are little remembered by anyone. 6 VCs before breakfast. S! Please forgive my annual post on this subject.

S! Please forgive my annual post on this subject. MM ... Never disrespect nor misinterpretation could be taken ... IMO. War is hell within itself, and leaves far greater pains as times pass. To all those who gave everything of themselves for what they believed, or led to believe ... Not matter which side they were on ... S! However, excluding the War Mongers who created these situations .... They all deserve respect. Lest We Forget
