@turk1991turkboi Mate, ever since the Ottoman turks fucked up Constantinople your country has been shithouse. All you cunts are good for are making kebabs.
@turk1991turkboi Mate, the British gave Australia bogus directions. Stop big noting your country. You were on a hill with machine guns for fuck sake. Hardly heroic stuff.
I am 35 and a teacher.Every day I see pictures in the papers of young men "boys" who have been killed in Iraq or Afghanistan.Regardless of politics, these boys are heroes and should be saluted !!
My Gran lost 2 brothers in WW1...one in Flanders, the other at Gallipoli. I went to Ypres in Flanders 2 years ago to the Menin Gate to find my great uncle's name on the wall...one of 70,000 without a known grave. They stop the traffic and play the Last Post EVERY SINGLE night there in memory of those men. The night I was there a male choir sang this song....I absolutely blubbed!
Gran went on to lose 2 sons in WW2. A very very tough price to pay. A lot of heroes were those who got left behind.
I fully agree with Carligi : thanks to all those men, killed because of our liberation during the years of WW.II and those who fought for us and survived. And also thanks to Katherine for this beautiful song.
With tears in my eyes I listened to this song. Thanks to all the allied soldiers that freed Holland in the years 1944/1945 I am still alive. There are many war graveyards in Holland and each time I pass one of them, I enter in silence to pay my respect to those who didnot return home.
My grandfather was one of those soldiers. Thank you. He returned home, but never spoke of what passed in those years. However I feel he would be proud - and was proud - to know he saved lives.
You can be proud of your grandfather. He was one of those who had to go, and luckely enough he survived. But so many lost their live. May they rest in peace. Thanks for your reaction.
thankyou for sharing your very moving tribute,i lost my blood in italy, fighting for great britain...although i never new him, i might have, my heart goes out to all that have been lost, on all sides, and to those that fight for the right to be free citizens, we all want the same ...freedom...peace to you all, the fareway organisation
i am irish rc and i hav serviced in iraq and afagan but i am proud to be in the british army and to be a irish man and to all those who hav gone before me i will never forget
turk1991turkboi, yes...your country lost a lot of its soldiers at Gallipoli. They died honourably serving the country they loved, they died honourably. I'm British myself. It was a terrible battle, but both sides should be proud of their fallen countrymen.

When you go home, tell them of us
And say
That for your tomorrow, we gave our today
No words can adequately describe the sacrifice of men and women we honour today.
Not for fame or reward, not for place or rank
Not lured by ambition or goaded by necessity
But in simple obedience to duty as they understood it
These men suffered all, sacrificed all, dared all and died

Well done sir, many gave their lives for the freedom of others who may never be greatful.
