i know wat does national identity means, but "This has become increasingly important for many Australians and New Zealanders for finding a sense of national identity," did'nt get this bit?
agreed, we have to remember the horrors of war and not glorify it - yes some young Australians did a great deal of gallant acts but in the end they were sent to thier deaths for political reasons and if they didnt go they were treated as cowards. one questions the latest VC in and its political motive - not to say the soldier did well but ..... I am Australian and proud ( I'm also a fag that doesnt receive the same rights and freedoms these wars apparently gave me)
Summed up perfectly. There is no glory in war. The reality of warfare should always be made clear for every generation that has been lucky enough not to experience war first hand.
mate i completly argee with you on this, as well as the fact that not many people know that the kokoda battles were the hardest fought battles of world war 2, just look at what our diggers went through.... constant ambush's on advance's.. dysentry...all sorts of nasty things, but the one thing that most people overlook is the vietnam conflict, we need to remember those who gave their lives for us there as well.
@lcplrambo Not least, the original troops on Kokoda were conscripts and reservists who had never seen battle going up against the battle hardened, undefeated Japanese army.
There was an epitaph on a Turkish memorial to the ANZACs. I can't remember It's particular wording but it was similar to 'Return home, and to the people there say, for your tomorrow, we gave our today.'
we brits have a lot to thank the ANZACs for-that is their commitment to us in both world wars and after RIP everyone who has fallen in war fighting for what they believe is right.
youre right there mate-my nans dad fought one the somme-he was one of the lucky ones to survive and youre right about the poloticians-what right have they got to send people who are little more than kids to die for them?
We don't get taught about the WHOLE world war here in britain... I only know about anzac because i knew the definition of 'World' means every country.
Well done mate. The Gallipoli campaign was the start of the ANZAC spirit which continues today, mateship. Have you seen the video/documentary on Gallipoli that tells the story fom both sides. It was a complete Turkish production with help from a few Australians. Cheers.
As I know of. The ottoman empire put there bid to side with the UK empire. But was refused because of bit made with russa. The agreement was that if russa would help the UK, the UK would give russa the now know lands of turky wich was ther centre country of the Ottomen's
the ANZAC campaign was the ultimate example of both side hating being there and boths side showing reluctance to open fire in quiet times. i have read quite a few stories of ANZACS and turks trading coversation and gifts in the trenches. it saddens me that war made them into enemies
the only other comment i have is that the politicions do need to be forgiven, otherwise the hatred remains, and in time that turns to bitterness, something which is extremely dreadful to watch happen
watched this last year...watched it again this year and if you post it again next anzac day i'll watch it again...gallipoli was a disaster but the ANZACs were fighting for a way of life we all take somewhat for granted....LEST WE FORGET
So glad to see someone to mention the horrors of war, and not the sanitised version that is taught in schools.
In WWI my grandfather was an Irishman that fought in the Australian Army under British command but was decorated for bravery by the French. Only 16 non-French citizens have ever received that award. But he taught us all to hate war and the politicians that start wars. But he also taught that there are times when you must fight, but not just because politicians say so.
Hi Cobber, Good on ya.I lost 7 Rellys in WW1. The bloody politicians don't send their sons to war like someone said its a rich mans war and a poor mans fight. My uncle bob said that if he knew what OZ would be like now, he would have never gone to war to defend it.
Not forgetting that the Turks allowed the ANZACS to leave without firing upon them, This was due to the Turks having immense admiration for the courage and fighting spirit of the ANZACS.
There is also a recorded instance of a Turkish soldier carrying a wounded British soldier back to the British trenches. That can only come from those of honour.
Actually, you're wrong about the Turks "letting" the Anzacs leave. They would have fired on them. It was war. The Anzacs set up a complicated series of tricks so that the Turks would think they were still in their trenches when they retreated.
AA, we will have to disagree on that for the moment. I do recall seeing an interview of a Turkish soldier, where he told that they were initially fooled. Near the end of the withdrawal, they figured out what was happening, but did not see the need to fight, as they had won the battle. Any further engagement would have useless.
If I can find that reference, I will ensure you are the first to know. If I am wrong, so be it. But we both know, the truth must be told, as that honours the ANZACS.
charges at enemy trenches. No one made it more than 10 metres away from anzac trenches toward turkish trenches (i forget how far away they were, but probbaly about 80-100m).
Overall, the gallipolli campaign was a disaster. The allies were no where near taking control of all of the land surrounding the dardanelles.
However, this campaign made the anzacs famous for their intense bravery, and developed a proud national identity. the turks became known for their fair, clean fighting, eg.....
the battle of lone pine was the only significant victory of the anzacs throughout the gallipolli campaign. i, however, dont call it a victory, since the intention of the battle of lone pine, was to create a diversion where another battle was fought (i forget where), and the other battle was not won.
The battle of Nek was arguably the anzac's worst defeat. the objective was to capture nek which was heavily fortified, but again the british generals believed it could be taken, by several bayonet..
a geographical advantage and allow them to eventually secure the land sorrounding the dardanelles. the turks had a massive geographical advantage on anzac cove, since they were stationed on far higher ground then the beaches which provided the anzacs with virtually no cover from heavy enemy machine guns and artillary. the foolish british generals insisted that they push on despite 2000 dead on just the first day.
The objective of the gallipolli campaign campaign was to gain control of a narrow supply route, known as the dardanelles, to transport goods in and out of russia. The intended place for the troops to land and take control of was gallipolli penisula. due to navigational errors by british generals, the ships landed some km's south of the penisnsula, at a cove now known as anzac cove. This error caused huge casualties and prevented the anzacs from getting any control of land which would give them..
The fact that you have mentioned 'young people' as not knowing very much about ANZAC Day surprises me because many young people actually know more about ANZAC Day that oldies due to the recent education system changes that now includes ANZACS in the curriculum
we don't celebrate it. We commemorate it. It's a memorial to those who died, there is a ceremony called the dawn service which people attend, we pay our respects and are silent, it lasts anywhere from one to three hours, it's a day of remembrance, not celebration. It's not glorifying war, it's remembering those who died. Similar to how one wouldn't 'celebrate' 9/11
Just a bit of a newsflash: An RSL (returned services league) club in NSW has decided to evict war veterans from their residence in the club...to make way for pokies. UNAUSTRALIAN and DISRESPECTFUL
"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 to us where they lie side by side now here in this country of ours. ... You, the mothers, who sent their sons from faraway countries, wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land. They have become our sons as well."
i fail to see the reason for someone to bring up golden syrup on such a sad video please i know im not austrailian but after hearing this i just want to say show some respect and u should be ashamed
This was an excellent video Angry , and I really liked what you said about politicians. I would add that it is the big bankers , and in our case , The Royal Family ,that tell the politicians what they will or won't do. It's about time we woke up to these facts.
"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.

England manipulated australians because they didnt want english people die in the war, They are smart they manipulated australians, slaves, blacks and many more countries in the history.
Australians are our brothers but you have been used to make your lords(england) alive.
In man ways i agree with you on that point ... its like the second world war where african americans went in before white americans. In all honesty im basing these remarks to grandparents and friends that have had knowledge about anzac day .. if im wrong im sorry.
In all honoesty they are our lords. If the british went to war with a neighboring country they will call on the commonwealth to aid them e.g India , Australia , New Zealand and other countries under the commonwealth. At the time Australia was a very young country .. still is and having a sense to prove our british counterparts that Australians had heart must have been an emotion felt by our leader at the time.
At the same time britain was responsible for our safety. Say what you like about them in WW2 but they still had a massive naval presence in australia from its beginning until the mid 50's.
The stupid British sent us their for their own purposes. You really should ask them what we all died there for. We don't even know what we were there for!!
All australians are our brothers. I have really good feelings to australian people. This friendship i hope will be bigger in the future between two countries.
To say Stupid British is wrong. This means you are slanting all britains and i know you dont mean that. The stupid british generals and high command at the time are the ones at fault not the british people.
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 to us, where they lie, side by side here in this country of ours. You, the mothers who sent their sons from faraway countries wipe away your tears. Your sons are now lying in our bosum and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land, they have become our sons as well."
As a young wife of an australian soldier I just wanted to thank you for your video. I really appreciated the honesty and knowledge you have on events of the past, and opinions on the future. ~Lest We Forget~
I will always dread war and fighting, because nothing good ever comes from it. People say it solves a great deal, but in truth, they have probably never been to it. The only ones who truly want to go to war, as previously stated, are the ones who've never been to it. War never solves a damn thing in my opinion. Death is nothing to be happy about.
I daon't know why they don't teach about this in our schools. Then again out schools are horribly flawed. Stuff like this vid and the Anzacs remind me of the Song War Pigs. The world won't know what they're doing until they burn the earth to the ground.
we all hate the turks. us greeks, the romanians, australia, and pretty much all of europe. My grandparent's family pretty much got slaughtered by the turks.
I remember when I watched the movie "Gallipolli" at school at Anzac Day.. My sister was about to cry, it is a very good movie about the war. My classroom felt all the soldiers' bravery.. It's so sad.
war is not something to laugh about or want now days these kids want to go to war they think it would b fun to kill people i pity them but i cannot respect them when they die because if to them death is a game then they are fools that do not not deserve respect back then i respect those true solders to the up most for there sacrifice i salute them in a moment of silence please do so today at a time
Mate-just quietly, I've been watching you, and this is your best ever. Take my hat off to you...if I could find the bastard of a thing.

At the time Australia was a very young country .. still is and having a sense to prove our british counterparts that Australians had heart must have been an emotion felt by our leader at the time.

At the same time britain was responsible for our safety. Say what you like about them in WW2 but they still had a massive naval presence in australia from its beginning until the mid 50's.

The stupid British sent us their for their own purposes. You really should ask them what we all died there for. We don't even know what we were there for!!

All australians are our brothers. I have really good feelings to australian people. This friendship i hope will be bigger in the future between two countries.

To say Stupid British is wrong. This means you are slanting all britains and i know you dont mean that. The stupid british generals and high command at the time are the ones at fault not the british people.

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 to us, where they lie, side by side here in this country of ours. You, the mothers who sent their sons from faraway countries wipe away your tears. Your sons are now lying in our bosum and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land, they have become our sons as well."

Lovely tribute mate.
My family lost 3 wonderful men in uneccesary military actions;
WW1 - My Great, great uncle didn't even make it off the beach at Galipolli, mowed down at the age of 18.
WW2 - My Grandfather, never came made it back from France, aged 33.
Vietnam - My Uncle came a cropper in Denang, aged 21.
Wasted lives.

As a young wife of an australian soldier I just wanted to thank you for your video. I really appreciated the honesty and knowledge you have on events of the past, and opinions on the future. ~Lest We Forget~

You're welcome, the service of everyone in the forces deserves to be recognised.

I will always dread war and fighting, because nothing good ever comes from it. People say it solves a great deal, but in truth, they have probably never been to it. The only ones who truly want to go to war, as previously stated, are the ones who've never been to it. War never solves a damn thing in my opinion. Death is nothing to be happy about.

I daon't know why they don't teach about this in our schools. Then again out schools are horribly flawed. Stuff like this vid and the Anzacs remind me of the Song War Pigs. The world won't know what they're doing until they burn the earth to the ground.

I remember when I watched the movie "Gallipolli" at school at Anzac Day.. My sister was about to cry, it is a very good movie about the war. My classroom felt all the soldiers' bravery.. It's so sad.

That attitude about "fun" and an adventure is a very old one. Look up some of the recruiting practices used in the American Civil War

I hope someday we will learn,
