Anyone should be able to tell that they are Australian by their accents and the fact that they are some of the toughest SOBs alive

@Larrikins54 Thank you, sir. You are quite correct about the Irish population, who may have weighed up their loyalties. However, something like 140,000 Irishmen volunteered for the British Army during the War, and about 350,000 served in total, so some were clearly prepared to let bygones be bygones. For the reasons you allude to, there was no conscription in Ireland during the War. Naturally, I do not judge all Australians by Mr. joeynator99. Regards.

@joeynator99 anzac men who considered them selves as british empire troops who volunteered to fight for the empire and the mother country Great Brittain god bless the sons of the empire!!!

[Larrikins54]

@Joeynator99 OTT. Relax. Your language does you no credit nor Australia and Australians. Australia saw itself in those days as part of the British Empire. It's nearly 100 years ago. HengistR is quite right, with one minor excpetion  - there was a big slash of Irish running through them - not sure they saw themselves as 'British'. But either way it all worked and the ANZAC Corps was the only all-volunteer Army throughout WW1.

@joeynator99  Hello, sir. Nice of you to share your views. As a matter of interest, about 20% of ANZAC were British-born. 98% of Australians were of British descent; some had only just arrived in Oz. No-one forced them to go - ANZAC was all volunteers. I notice that you say "we." Did you take part in the battle? Perhaps you should have pointed out the folly of their ways at the time. Brush up on your history and punctuation, and get back to me. Who said Australians are uncouth?

"ALRIGHT, LET'S DO IT THEN!!! :D"
