Today is ANZAC day for our mates down under. Let's join them in remembrance.

Thank you Gene.

Thank you Gene....

Great Allies for many years and many battles. 

To all our Aussie friends...WE REMEMBER...

 

To our member, @Jari, Thank You for your service.

LEST WE FORGET!

 

Go out and plant a Pine tree.  And remember the fight around a single such tree at Gallipolis...

Thanks Gene, and I salute the Aussies and their brave men that went into battle, and the fallen for giving their lives for the cause.

  My Dad was a WWI Vet, and he faithfully bought the red Poppies on Memorial day, and I do the same .

Thanks, Gene. I recall from a documentary that New Zealand had lost the most men (100,000?), either in terms of numbers or %s, in either WWI or WWII.

That is correct, New Zealand is a major part of this day, ANZAC.

I think 100,000 is a couple zeros off.

Here is the official count. Even so, that was around 10% of those who served. 

Thanks, Gene - you are definitely our super investigator.
