The reason we have ANZAC day in Australia and public holiday is because of the Gallipoli Campaign and Australian and New Zealanders landing at ANZAC Cove on the 25th April 1915
We must never forget the sacrifice that the past generations have done for this magnificent country of ours..we should also never forget the people that send our youth to war.. for they must be held accountable for their actions.. Its cause of them we mourn.
I remember at work the day 100 years after the start of WW1 I mentioned to my teenaged coworker that, "Wow! It's been 100 years since World War One was started!". He just looked at me and said, " So?". No idea just how much that one day had really changed the world forever.
100 years ago 2 Australian Brigades (13th and 15th) attacked German lines at night with no Artillery, Tank or Plane support and won forcing the Germans to retreat. The day before the 1st tank v tank battle occurred stopping the German advance. No matter how you look at those 2 battles was the start of Germanys demise.
