  • 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.

  • @71gypsybaby Thanks

  • @HeadShotFish Depends on your point of view

  • wat do u mean by "national identity"?

  • @TheKing0fEveryQueen Look it up in a dictionary

  • 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?

  • @TheKing0fEveryQueen How the nation sees its identity.

  • 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)

  • @jasepercy1 Remembering the full story is important

  • @AngryAussie completely agree

  • 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.

    Lest we forget.

  • @HowlinHenri Lest we forget

  • 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.

  • This ANZAC day, please remember Kokoda as well.

  • @Keruaran Yes, more people should know about that.

  • awesome Anzac day tribute

    hope you do another one this year

  • @OSGUIShow Not sure if there's anything else to say

  • 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.'

  • There's a lot of moving memorials

  • I hope that doesn't happen to my brother.

    He's going back to Iraq after his R&R, and he's going to Afghanistan after Iraq.

  • I hope he stays safe

  • 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.

  • We all owe them a lot

  • 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?

  • @stephenlyttletonB32 War is poor young men killing other poor young men for the benefit of rich old men.

  • @kingsman565

    youre not wrong there china i dnt see what right they got

  • @stephenlyttletonB32 Because they can & because most of the world's populace continue to go along with it.

  • 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.

  • This is true

  • Whats with the horn at 147?

  • It's the Last Post.

  • 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.

  • There's a lot of interesting docos on the subject

  • "Boys become men and when they fight for their country they they become heroes when they die for their country they become legends"

  • We'd all be better off if that cycle was broken forever.

  • agree

  • 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

  • Hmm, the audio is REALLY low & focusing in the left speaker. None of your other videos do that...

  • *sits in silence watching this, with nothing to say*

  • 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

  • Even by war standards, WW1 was appalling

  • Lest We Forget...

  • love the vid

    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

  • Don't forget, it gives them the excuse to do it again.

  • i wont, but i dont want to get as bitter as my uncle did because they sent me to war, and the politicians will change but the ideas wont

  • 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

  • Lest we forget

  • 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.

  • It is the worst horror imaginable.

  • 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.

  • The politicians have a lot to answer for

  • mate good on you, i admire people like you who have respect for our diggers, they are heros.

    I dont think alot of the younger generations have an idea of what they went through.

    Anyone who has disrespect for our anzacs, just plainly have no idea about the subject.

    Keep up the good work.

  • I thought it was worth spreading the message

  • Jeeze wtf is wrong wiv ppl! Just hug dont fight!

    *Hugs for everyone*

    Nice video XoX

  • Thanks :)

  • dudes that brutal

  • they never fired artillery onto enemy hospital ships, they didnt use any form of gas, eg, mushroom gas, which their allies (germany) invented.

    the turks and anzacs also had mutual respect for eachother, despite being enemies.

  • 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.

  • now that you mention it, i remember that they left a bunch of guns going off every minute or so to make the turks believe they were still there

  • That was part of it.

  • 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

  • I base it on reality. There is an enormous amount of ignorance on the topic from young people.

  • It's a big deal here

  • How do Australians and New Zealanders celebrate Anzac Day?

  • We commemorate it with dawn services and marches

  • 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

  • thank u 2

    i wish i lived in australia it wud be so kl!

  • It's a great place to live

  • 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

  • That isn't true - there isn't a single news reference to it

  • Actually it is. It was on the today show on friday the 24th

  • "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."

  • Lest we forget

  • LOL

    the oonly one commenting was AA...

  • You appear to not know How YT's comment system works.

  • ok..

  • You'd be a lot angrier if you'd actually been in the Army, AA.

  • About what?

  • /o

    Salute our fallen heroes.

  • I agree with kaditchi, you would have an amazing voice for a cat.

  • I can only hope to try an empathize with the families touched by the destructive grip of war.

  • Lest we forget

  • 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

  • It's an Australian thing

  • youve got an amazing voice for a cat.

  • Why don't you just admit you want me and get it over with?

  • i luv them! lol

  • Thanks

  • 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.

  • It's all part of the power structure

  • "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."

  • Lest we forget

  • Very well done i am a proud aussie and i believe that the ANZAC's should not have been sent there.

    They shall grow not old,

    As we that are left grow old,

    Age shall not weary them,

    Nor the years condemn.

    At the going down of the sun,

    And in the morning

    We will remember them. Lest we Forget

  • Lest we Forget

  • Nice tribute,man....

  • Very, very nicely done.

  • Thank you

  • Comment removed

  • nice video

    "Lest We Forget" what they died for

  • Lest we forget

  • We turks have fought for our independence

    My australian friends i am asking to you

    For what have you fought?

    For independence?, for land?, for money?

    It is the most meaningless war in the history, because australians dont know for what they came to the land which lost their lives.

  • the australians plan was to take the coastline to aid our allies. e=it was basically a proxy war (people being uded to fight)

  • 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.

  • we joined in (AUS) because the government thought we owed it to the british to help them in a war

    why dont ask me?

  • You guys have to accept that you have been cheated by England, they think that they are your lords, you australians died to make britain alive.

  • Back in the early 1900's it was a diffrent story than today. Back then Australians were alot more involved with affairs of King and Crown.

  • Let's hope we've changed enough it doesn't happen again.

  • 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."

  • I've always liked that quote by Ataturk.

    I was a part of ANZAC day this year!

  • Good for you!

  • Thanks

  • Sorry mate its been a while since i've commented on your videos. This is a lovely tribute (Y)

  • Thanks

  • Magnificent side of you kept hidden - but like fine wine, should be reserved for special occasions

  • Variety is the spice of life

  • ~Lest We Forget~

  • Lest we forget.

  • 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.

    Lest we forget.

  • for being "Angry" you sure do have alot of kindness and caring in your heart. ( No worries, I won't tell anyone )

  • LO fucking L!!! XDDD!!!

    btw beautiful video angry aussie!!!

  • It's my little secret

  • 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.

  • It definitely should be avoided.

  • i remember this vid..

    -moment of silence-

  • Lest we forget.

  • 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.

  • You're right there.

  • 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.

  • That is an incredibly stupid attitude.

  • Very touching...we cannot forget.

  • Lest we forget.

  • I learned something new today, thank you

  • You're welcome.

  • 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 is a good movie

  • 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

  • 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

  • indeed it is this generation is it at its worst they have been desensitized by its tv and offensive music

  • It has nothing to do with this generation. What a ridiculous ignorance of history.

  • which generation is "this" one?

  • loss of life needlessly....

    War ....will we ever learn?....

    I think not, if history is any indication, quite sad

    To all those who have lost there lives

    I hope someday we will learn,

    for the cost has been so great.

  • We need to learn the lessons of history
