The day we remember our fallen soldiers... named for the Australian & New Zealand troops who landed at Gallipoli on 25th April 1915 & were shot to hell & back by the defending Turkish troops who, thanks to Winston Churchill, had plenty of time to establish defensive lines & allocate troops to them... What was it with Churchill & his recurring tactic of "fighting them on the beaches"??

Still, at least it took some Turkish troops away from their other main occupation of killing Armenians...
