 Welcome to Friday Night Bingo and we have the ANSAC project with us today and Darren is in New Zealand and this is our first time that we have somebody so far apart. And this is a good point. You'll notice there's a little delay that we've got going on here. I'm still having internet problems and New Zealand coming all the way over to Atlanta is taking a little bit of a delay. So hang in there with us. There'll be some pauses as we go along. But hi Darren. Hello. Oh yeah, got someone else that we're going to bring in in just a second and let's, oops, okay. So Jillian was going to try and be here today but she is on vacation and her internet is not working well. So we're going to team together and everyone's going to pop in in just a moment. I saw her come into the backstage area so she's going to pop in. Meanwhile, let me get over for a short, very short presentation on ANSAC so we can get up to speed before we start digging into the project itself. So the ANSAC is Story of Bravery and Sacrifice and this really started with what war, Darren? The Great War or World War I, depending on what you call it. And for those of you that don't know, ANSAC stands for the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps and it really firsts the soldiers who fought in the Gallipoli campaign during World War I. That's, as Darren said, that's kind of where it started. Ah, we've got Jillian. Hi, Jillian. Hi, how are you? Can you hear me? We can hear you. This is great. So we've got Darren in New Zealand. Jillian, you're in Australia and I'm in Atlanta, Georgia. So this is fabulous. Thank you guys for doing this. As you know, Darren just finished a pop-up for the ANSACs. It was April 25th, was when you commemorated ANSAC Day. So I'm thrilled that both of you are here. Well, I'm glad it got going. I was thinking that it was not going to be on. Yeah, but here we are. Fantastic. It is great because we were just saying that ANSAC is Australian and New Zealand and both of you were representing tonight. So this is great. Thanks for coming, Darren. Not a problem, Jillian. It is great because this is the first time that we've had guests from your side of the world. So I really appreciate you guys being the first here to test out the waters. I did not know there's ANSAC biscuits that are made. So this is made. Is this something that the soldiers had or is this just something that came about? I think the soldiers might have had them. They're very hardy biscuits that last for ages. And so I imagine that that's where it came from, was that they were used by the soldiers over in the war. And then I want to do this little disclaimer that I'm not an expert. Probably Darren's a lot more knowledgeable than I am. So just please excuse my. I'm here to honor the soldiers, not because I'm there's lots of people who know more than me about the ANSACs. And also, look, Sandy, I want to thank you very much for asking us to come on and thanks to all the people who are here today. I agree. I can tell you that we have learned throughout my travels, a wiki tree this week talking up about this particular bingo session. We have learned that we have a lot to learn about World War One. A lot of us know just it. And so don't don't feel like you're out there on a limb. We're with you because we're learning as well. And we were talking how this really the ANSACs really started with World War One at Gallipoli. And it was known as the Dardanelles. Did I say that correctly? Dardanelles. Yeah, that's the that goes from the Aegean Sea to the Sea of Marama, which goes through to Constantinople. Or Istanbul. No, they're right through Turkey. Right through Turkey. Now, wasn't this a Winston Churchill's disaster plan? Wasn't this a failure for him? Yeah, way better. It certainly wasn't a successful campaign. No. And in the end, it lasted eight months. And in the end, they are they all retreated, I guess you'd say. And then because of this and the great loss, this is kind of the start of your ANSAC commemoration, your your day of commemoration on April 25th. And how many about how many died between ANSACs? Just trying to remember now, I think it was about 11,000 Australians, I'm not very good with the numbers. But yeah, it was a lot, a lot of Australians and a lot of New Zealanders died in the various theatres of the war was. Yeah, it was about a huge number on all sides. On British and the Germans and the French was just a terrible four years in terms of the number of people. Like we sort of worry now, we say, oh, you know, two people died or four. But just it was just a huge number of people died in the first World War. Is this this wasn't the first time that New Zealand and Australia combined their armies, right? The war war was before this. I don't know whether they they were fought as ANSACs during the war war. Do you do you know, Darren? No, no, no, I know that New Zealand's contingents and Australia's contingents, but I don't know whether they were combined or whether they were just on the British authority or what. And then let's talk a little bit about some of the things that you do to commemorate. So again, we want to just mention that ANSAC is the acronym for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. So when you see that, you know that we're dealing with those two countries and specifically an army corps and the symbol of remembrance is it's where the Rosemary and the more interesting thing that most people associate and you've seen it in the slideshow, it's part of poppies. The flare pop is a symbol of remembrance day. So do you guys have vendors or people that sell poppies, little poppies, paper poppies on the street like they do in England? We do. And also Rosemary is very much used for for ANSAC Day as well. Of course, in Gallipoli, there was a lot of Rosemary around, I believe. Yes. So thank you for putting that together. Yes. So so Rosemary and poppies are the symbols that we we use. Yeah, and I want to let everybody know that if you have questions, put them in the chat. We will answer them towards the end. We're going to try and get through as much as the information that we can first and the bingo cards will also provide a lot of information. But if you have specific questions, try and put them in the chat. We'll get them at the end. If we do not get them, you both Darren and Jillian can be reached at the ANSAC Project. So keep that in mind as well. So you are dealing with a lot of interesting Internet here. Worldwide Internet issues abound. So bear with us. And I just put the link down for the project as well. OK, so let's talk about the project. Let's bring the project page up. And this was started, I guess, to make sure to understand that it's a collaboration between the Australia project and the New Zealand project. But there's a special need for this particular project. Right, Gillian? Oh, yes, that's right. Because if we just had the the military under the Australian project, then it really doesn't cover New Zealand and Australia together. And so it really sits under or sort of overlapping a number of other projects. It's also, I guess, the Great Wall project and definitely the Australian and New Zealand projects. So it sits under the other military and war projects with the other military and war projects and as a bit of a standalone. And it covers the probably the focus of the project over time. The focus has changed a little bit. But these days we were focusing on the actual theatres of war where the the the New Zealanders and Australians worked together, fought together, which was the First World War and a few times in the Second World War and in Vietnam, a small section in Vietnam. But we also see that it's big picture as well and and the Anzac spirit. And so, yeah. Can you define that? I see that a lot. What is the Anzac spirit? Well, what you actually put on one of the slides earlier on, that sort of the courage and the bravery that that people saw that the Anzacs together, the New Zealanders and Australians, Australians showed at Gallipoli. So even though it was unsuccessful as a campaign, the way that the New Zealanders and Australians fought really showed determination and courage and willingness to sort of go in there and and really do our best, even despite things not going well. And I was sort of became sorry. No, I was trying to think of another example. Now, I know that, you know, we're comrades and we join together sometimes and more, but I was trying to think of another example where two countries actually formed a unit as like the Anzacs. And I don't know. I'm not a war historian, so I need to point that out. But I don't know of another example like that. Well, Australia and New Zealand have always been close. And even like when Australia iterated in 1901, New Zealand had an opportunity to join Australia. So yeah, we've always been close. I think that's really. And I was surprised to see Vietnam. That really shocked me as well. I did not expect that category there. Yeah, that's not all of Vietnam. We didn't fight with Australia and New Zealand together for the whole of the Vietnam War. I think there was just one particular core that was set up that was bought in a component of that war. That's what I say. The Anzac project has had a wider focus, but which may not all be specifically Anzacs. OK, then let's talk about a couple of profiles. I am not one to read profiles. I like to give the links. But this one was very interesting to me. This was a random one that I picked up. And I will not lie as I was doing my work and research this week. I did share this with my Appalachia project. And wouldn't you know it? Someone in a project said, you need to look at the connection because this person is connected to you. So now I have a family line into Australia. And this was a random profile that I picked up. I'm going to drop the link so everybody can see. I was shocked. I was totally shocked and amazed. And I thought it was fabulous from a random one. But let me read this one just a little bit. I'm not going to read all of it. But this gentleman, it was just one of those crazy, amazing, good things that came from this individual. When you can see his photos. And I will tell you that the Anzac profiles are beautiful. They are very beautiful, guys. I spent all week reading them. They're beautiful. Your stickers are beautiful. I just am blown away by your work. But this particular gentleman, Harry was armed only with two revolvers attacked an enemy machine gun. He killed or captured the entire crew in all those severely wounded in the head, carried on until the final objective was captured. He twice went over open ground under heavy artillery and machine gun fire to pain ammunition. And all those suffering from the walk with blood continued to fill a magazine, served his gun until seriously wounded in the head by a sniper. And let me continue just a little bit further. His wounds were so severe that his skull was shattered and brain was exposed and he was evacuated to England for medical treatment. But he still kept fighting. Now, the reason this is reason enough really to to mention the bravery. And I think that this kind of shows a little bit of the Anzac spirit as well. But that it's kind of a timely thing as that's mentioned in here. And let me see if I can find this. This was kind of give me just one second. There you go. So a story that sums up. A Harry's Caring Heart is one from 1949. He parceled up his Victoria Cross medal, mailed it to Buckingham Palace to what was then Princess Elizabeth as a birth gift for her son, Prince Charles, who next weekend will be, you know, officially coordinated as king. So I was like, this is just an amazing profile to me. And then they'll find out that I'm like 25 degrees from him was even cooler to me. But I think his work in the battle shows that Anzac spirit that you were talking about. Exactly. And there's a lot of stories like that. But I mean, I'm sure there are in other other other wars and other countries as well. But it was definitely something that. Became something that Australians and New Zealanders took as part of who we like to think we are. So yeah, I I I totally agree. I'm amazed by it. And if you guys are looking at my screen, I do have the wiki tree browser extension. So that's why you're seeing the little circle. So this is 18 degrees from me. And this is William Berg. Well, these are ones that Jillian had provided that she left out of the project. And it was interesting for him that he saw active service in the Second Boar War and then went on to World War One afterwards. So he was pretty much a career. Soldier and the profiles are beautiful. And you can see the awards and honors. I will as well drop this link in the chat for those of you that might want to look at it after bingo. I want to point out that the first bingo card has been dropped in chat. Bring it up because we're getting ready to do the first card in a mere moment. OK, and then this one, we come to a nurse. And as we know, nurses are just as important in almost any regiment, any military, any war. And here we have Anne. And the photos, I don't know. I tell you, Australia and New Zealand must have great archives for photos. We've got great wiki trees to do a fantastic job on these on all of these things. We really do. I mean, I don't put up David's mention again, because I couldn't say it better than David. These are seriously a work of art and really should be a model for wiki tree profiles, not just notable, but wiki tree profiles as well. Oh, and I've got Carol. Yep, another nurse. You know, I love the nurses. I love showcasing the nurses here. So that so. This is kind of interesting to me, because after five months of treating horrific wounds suffered by young soldiers at Gallipoli, she transferred. That's my internet hanging with me. They transferred to Alexandria, Egypt, where the hospital was establishing a former hero. So you've got in there. Seed stories are fantastic coming out here. They are amazing. So let me do one more. And then everybody gets your bingo card up and ready to go. So we've got Captain Alford, shout, excuse me, shout. And again, I just wanted to point out the stickers. You guys have fabulous stickers as well. They're really awesome. So we've got the South African border horse served with that in the second war war. You've got the he migrated. You've got the Anzac for the first war one you show his cross. And then here we go. We've got the poppy sticker as well. And for shout, he was awarded the VC for his actions at Lone Pine in August 1915. So we're talking World War One during the Gallipoli campaign. After the Ottoman forces had counterattacked, seized a large stretch of Australian's frontline, shout gathered a small party of men, charge down one trench. And we know World War One is all about the trench warfare. Charge down one trench, throwing bombs and hand grenades. He just went for it. And he killed eight Turkish soldiers, managed to clear others to retake the entire trench in a similar action later that day and supported another officer. He recaptured further ground amid fighting. This is amazing. Not only are the profiles beautiful, but the actions of the Anzacs are totally amazing to me. Yeah. Just need to say the stickers are a lot of the stickers are military and war stickers. So they're available for a lot of other countries as well. So, yeah. And they just they just really point out the path, I think, of this gentleman. So this was amazing. Let's go ahead and play some bingo. Oh, well, this is cool. So, Jillian, you are the first person I work with on my first thong with the old sang ring strollers. Thank you for being such a wonderful career from Carol. We always talk about going back in the day. I remember the strollers. OK, so everybody ready for bingo. Let me go ahead and tell you the rules real quick, especially if this is the first time you played bingo, if you have one at Wickey Tree Friday bingo so far, you are not eligible yet. You have to wait six months and we have not been doing this for six months yet. So you have to wait to get bingo. You can either get straight down, straight across or diagonal either or those. Just one line. That's all you need. You don't need all three and the first person that type bingo as loud as you can type it into the chat wins. So five of you might win at the same time, but whoever is the quickest typist wins the bingo and you win a great prize. And thank you, Stephen. Sometimes I have free spaces. Sometimes I don't. And this time we have free spaces. So go ahead and with your mouse, dab that free space. And if you guys are ready, Julian, this is going to be words based on the Gallipoli campaign that you gave. And I love how you separated these out. And I should point out one more thing real quick. We were going to do a little bingo trivia that everybody likes, but with my internet connection, I didn't trust it. So we just put the hint and answer all on one bingo square. So eight months, that was the total length. I was surprised at that. Yeah, let me give Richard. We'll catch you up with the bingo. This is the first word, Richard, so you're not too late. So eight months. OK, who wants to pronounce this for me? Chinook Bear. Would he do this? Yeah, that's how I pronounce it. Chanuk Bear. Chanuk, yeah, OK. And what does that mean? Who can't quite remember, but it was one of the casuals. Let me just check it out. OK, it was the high point in the Gallipoli peninsula and. It was actually the Wellington and three Italian, I think, that that actually won it. And yeah, it was one of the successful casuals that didn't last very long was in the August offensive. Yeah, OK, yeah. And then in ZEF is the New Zealand expeditionary force. Yeah. And I guess with this compliment, the AIF would be the Australian side. Yeah. Yeah, Suvla. Did I say that right, Suvla Bay? Yep. Yep. That was the start of the August offensive, was when they came into Suvla Bay. Yeah, so that's just a wee bit of. You know, Suvla Bay was just a wee bit north of where Anzac was. And it was supposed to. I thought it was like the Anzacs, but it didn't work. And then Light Horse Brigades, that is a unit. Are part of like we in the United States, we were talking about civil war earlier. We have infantry in Calvary. So this is a Light Horse Brigade would be similar to a unit. Yeah, yeah, it's a unit, but it's a mounted unit. So it's an I don't really fully understand. I think it's an infantry brigade on horseback. OK, right, Darren. Yeah, yeah, I drive the horses to the battle and then hop off and fight the battle on foot. Yeah. And then one in six, this was the number of New Zealanders who died during the campaign. It's a lot, isn't it? It is. It's kind of chilling. Yeah. Now, let me ask you a question before we get to this one. Did or most of them buried there or did they come back to New Zealand? The bodies come back to New Zealand. A lot of them, some were buried there. Some their bodies weren't ever found, which is gets to the pickers, a soldier, plant a tree project that we might mention at some stage. But yes, I don't think too many came back to either New Zealand or Australia. I think they were mostly buried over wherever it was that they fought. Oh, we've got a bingo. And we get a bingo winner. So, Katie, congratulations, Katie. So let me tell you what that's all. Where's Katie? Look, is she part of your project? She is. I don't know if she's part of the project. She's part of the Australia project. And she's, um, yeah. I'm happy to see you. That is I don't know how this works out, but it seems like the winners are somehow really related to the project we're showcasing, so I love that she won. So, Katie, what you're going to do is you're going to email Aowyn, our forestel here at WikiTree, and tell her that you won the bingo for the Anzacs, she will give you the information. She'll email you back the information of where you can go shopping for your WikiTree branded prize. And I will tell you that the bingo mug is the most popular item of all of WikiTree. Right now, Aowyn actually designed the logo too. So that is the most popular. But they have totes, they have t-shirts, short sleeve, long sleeve, and they have different mugs too, if you want. It's up to a thirty dollar prize and you can go ahead and set the clock now because the next time you'll be able to win it, bingo will be six months from now. But go ahead and email Aowyn and she will get that information to you as well. So congratulations. That's so cool that she's part of the Australia project as well. So that's great. I don't know how this works out. This works out in that mystical WikiTree way that it works out. That's fabulous. OK, so you did mention something and we're going to go right into that topic now. So pick a soldier playing a tree. So tell us more about this. OK, so when we had, when there was a few of us last year at a conference called Family History Down Under in was held in Sydney. And a genetic genealogist was there. His name is Morris Gleason. So some of you may have heard of him. And some years ago, they set up a project called Pick a Soldier Planted Tree, which was the concept behind it was that it was to commemorate the people who were missing in war and presumed killed. And there was three hundred and thirty eight thousand of them across all of the Allied forces, so including UK and United States, Europe, Belgium and France as well and Australia and New Zealand. So the eleven thousand that you mentioned before is eleven thousand Australian soldiers, I think, were missing. So their bodies were never recovered, basically. So apparently every now and then bodies turn up so or parts of bodies turn up in particularly in in France, but also in in Turkey. And so the concept behind the Pick a Soldier Planted Tree project is that it will if if we're able to link soldiers who were missing with their family tree, then with all the new developments in DNA, that it will make it easier to be able to identify who the soldier is and then be able to be able to let the family know that the body's been located or parts of the body have been located and do a proper burial. So with a few of us were really inspired, Marie, Evans and me in particular. And so we we thought that was a great thing to do as part of the ANZAC project. So we've started that off now and we've already got quite a lot of profiles in the Australian category. And looks like some the New Zealand ones got a lot more than last time I looked at it too. So we've already got people in the ANZACs project going through and the Australia project going through a lot of the war memorials and finding profiles that are already on wiki tree and being able to now categorize them within the Pick a Soldier planted tree project. And then there's going to be a lot of work, obviously, to keep building out those trees so that that that we can contribute to the the bigger Pick a Soldier planted tree project. So we're excited about it. Yeah, these are in these categories. Does that mean that they've been identified? It means that it means that there's there because one of the genetic genealogists set up a big database called commemorating the missing. And so what we're doing is we're adding the link to the wiki tree profile to that person's profile on commemorating the missing. And that way, then you can they can if they're looking at it for a particular person or they're suspecting that a particular person may be the person whose remains have been found, then they can check out the link to wiki tree and see the tree on wiki tree. Yeah, so amazing work. And I might add that if you're working on these or if you start with these or not those quick grant what I call grab and paste, grab sources and paste them. These are ones that are going to take a little bit of time to not only look and research and see if they're on wiki tree or add them to the wiki tree, but these are emotional profiles. And I talk a lot about the miners in the mine disasters and the disasters project that I work with. I can only do so many of these a week. And when I say so many, I'm thinking like two because these these are pretty emotional profiles, so they're so worthy and they're important. But just keep in mind that these are not what I call those grab and paste. Those grab the sources, paste and be done with. These are a way that the ANZAC project is commemorating and remembrance of these individuals. Yes, yeah. And for each of them, there's a family that was found that never heard back from their their personal loved one and never was able to even know where their body was. And so it's for all the families, it's a very emotional thing, too. If there's probably some parents who died never knowing, you know, there might be some nieces and nephews left, maybe if they had children, some children, some grandchildren. But yeah, this is this kind of gave me chills when I was looking through it earlier and it gives me chills now because knowing that you guys are doing such a wonderful job to bring these people into light and into life again and say that they matter, didn't they mean something? So what a wonderful thing. The so it's Wiki Tree's way of planting a tree. Exactly. I want to go back real quick because Katie did mention something, too. So let me bring this up. Katie said I was privileged to be at the ANZAC Cove for commemoration for the 90th anniversary of the Gallipoli landings in 2005. I can't even imagine the experience that you had being there. Like, you know, it's it's amazing. And she followed up with it was a very, very special, especially as there's a member of the Austrian Australian military. I I just can't imagine. And she won the prize today. That is really. And then a couple of comments. The nice project. It's not just me. I think it's just sort of kind of help out, but there's a lot of people have put in a lot of work into this project. I would say because I was like I said, I've been reading the profiles always long. I just kind of I knew that is X was coming over and to the dubingo. So I just kind of tiptoed over and said, let me check it out and see what's going on. And I just been reading the pages since then. A lot of these soldiers were quite young and don't have descendants. They're making sure they are commemorated and remembered. It is important. I agree, Marlo. And then we have some that need to create second cousins tries to remove. And this might be a way for somebody to jump in and to a project in. Marie said, again, I hope it remains are found that having the tree already created can speed up the process of finding a living relative to the NHS. And I like to say that this is the power of wiki tree. When we talk about the projects, for example, you were mentioning at the start of this that the Anzacs are part of the military project, as well as the Australian and New Zealand. But this brings the power of wiki tree to a whole different level. So if somebody does find some remains and can test and find the individuals here and we built the tree, that is a very quick way to get information to the families. I hadn't even thought about that. Yeah. And then one more from Carol, a side comment. Retired soldiers on Okinawa, his remains of US soldiers died during the battle. The DNA is used to ID and bodies are sent back to US for burial there. So I think it's kind of on a similar plan. If you guys have noticed, please go ahead and bring up your second bingo card, because we're going to be doing the second bingo card in just a mere moment. I want to touch on one other thing before we do bingo. And then we're going to come back and look at some profiles. But a side project is the women in wartime. And at first glance, I thought, OK, we're talking about the nurses. But this page really enlightened me. We're not just talking about the nurses. There's a lot of work that was done by women. They were teachers. They were the nurses. And then we've got the different wars. We've got the Boer War as well as World War One. There was the nursing corps. There were women who reached the medal awards for their war work. And I love how you have them separated out. The interesting thing, they're all sisters. So these were all nuns. Do you think? I think these are all nuns. I think it could be sisters, could be nurses, too. OK, that's what I wanted to double check. I think sisters is how they were often referred to nurses. Yeah. And then you've got your you're broken out, too, as well as the New Zealand. Women in Australian lend army. There's a whole bunch more that women did that I didn't realize was involved in. And when the Korean War, we didn't really talk about the Korean War as well. And then the war goes down. So I'm going to drop this link also in the chat for anybody who wants to read a little bit more. It's fascinating information to learn about the different ways when we were doing the Civil War earlier today, we were talking about women. The US Civil War was showcased. And then now we're talking about women with the Anzacs in different wars. And they actually left their home and country with the US Civil War. They pretty much stayed in place. But these women left their home and country to participate in the war. OK, let's bring up the second go card. And Jillian has titled discard the Western Front in Palestine. Could you explain that to us? Well, obviously, after Gallipoli campaign, they left that that theater of the war and many of the people that had been fighting in Gallipoli and new trips that were coming in went over to the Western Front and served in France and Belgium, fighting there. And that also a group of people then went up into further up into Egypt and to Palestine and were down to Egypt and Palestine and were fighting in there, I think, still against the Ottoman Empire in Palestine. And so, yeah, so they were sort of two other major theaters where the Anzacs were fought during World War One. And then we talked about Anzac Day. That just occurred in there and you had a pop up on wiki tree. And you said that went really well. It seems to go quite well. I saw lots of people in the in the New Zealand Discord channel running up for us. There was good things in the in the GDG post and in the Australian Discord channel as well. So it's like how to put it, make people think and look. And you'll see a lot more pop ups with wiki tree with different topics throughout the year. Darren's kind of in one of the first groups that's starting it. And we had Titanic on bingo not long ago and they did a pop up as well. So you're going to see a lot of these pop ups where you're going to be introduced to projects as well as outside of this bingo and get a chance to help out. Now, the light mounted rifles is going to be another unit. And it was the way one I was thinking about was from Auckland. So similar to the light horse, but again, came in on on horseback and and then bought as infantry when they reached the battle. Yeah. OK, Men in Game. That's in Belgium and it's yeah, and it's a memorial. And I think every day at six p.m. they sound like the last post and it's a big commemoration or big memorial here. I think there's the names of 55,000 soldiers on there that that were killed in action. I think, yeah. So it's a huge memorial. It's at Ipa where a lot of the fighting in Flanders, which was part of Belgium, took place in that area around Ipa. Men in Mudd. Kind of a feat. The Western. They just fought in mud. It was pretty awful. Yeah. The Germans had the high ground. So the allies had the low ground. And of course, all the water goes down hill and you end up in mud. In the end of. Tanks got to grow tanks in at one stage and the tanks got stuck in mud. And it was just mud, mud everywhere. So it was it was a difficult campaign to win and get out of it. It sounds like it. Don't forget everybody to win bingo. You get horizontal, vertically diagonal. But the first person who gets one row has to go in. Camel core. Yeah, I thought that was pretty interesting. Yeah, that was in Palestine, obviously. So they they they set up a was not just the Australian and New Zealanders, it was the British army as well. And they set up whole camel core to be able to fight in the Palestine campaign. Pretty amazing. This one, I think everybody will probably know this song. Yeah. Sadly, this is probably a common throughout the world. You're Sheba. Yeah, Palestine. That was going down. Yeah, so it's currently southern Israel now says. And yes, one of the battles that was fought in the palace and the Palestine campaign campaign. We just talked about this. This is going to be pick a soldier plant a tree. Yeah. And the casualty clearing station. So that was the name of the hospitals, just sort of back from the front line, where the soldiers who were wounded would come in and and be treated. And and. Well, yeah, that was the name for CCS. They sometimes got called. Yeah, the casualty clearing stations for the hospitals behind the front line. Enormous to stay. This has this has two names. This day has two names, though. Is it right for for the Anzacs? This is also April 20th is fifth. So April 25th. No, no, no, it's some 11th of November. Number of November. OK, I wasn't sure. Yes, that's that's in the World War One. Hmm. And yeah, we also remember and stay. That's what I was thinking of. Thank you for correcting me. But I knew that that had two different words there. And Belgium, that one's pretty self-explanatory. I can't believe that no one's one bingo yet, because Katie went so quick. This particular lady, we're going to look at her profile as soon as this bingo game is stopped, but she's pretty important to the Anzacs. She's another nurse and I think she was she the one that won the BC Victoria Cross. So I'm not very middle. And I just want to be a little bit of she that someone did get bingo, but do not close your card. Keep playing, keep playing. And we're going to go to the next word. So I hope you guys kept your card up. Thank you for saying that to bingo, bingo, bingo and ban that. That's one's pretty common. This one was used pretty pretty much standard equipment throughout all the military, especially World War One. Yeah. General Chevelle, did I say that right? It is in the Palestine campaign. He was one of the the generals there. OK, here we are. There we go. We got a bingo. That is a show that is great. I wonder if that was Bayonet or the general that got that for you. OK, Shelley, the same rules apply. Let me bring up the email address so you're going to email Eowyn and she's going to contact you. If you know what you want, like if you know you want the black mug, you can just tell her I won this second bingo for the Anzacs. I want the black mug. If you want to see the whole list of what you can get up to $30 of WikiTree branded item, then just tell her that you won and you'd like to go shopping. And she will hook you up and she will get that information to you. Congratulations. That's really, really cool, too. I will say that Shelley happens to be in that Blatcher project, but she brings a lot of the history for more one and two into our project, so I love it that she won as well because that gives us information that we didn't have as well. Oops, I meant to put this one because Steven's like two black mugs, one with white handle. That's true. So if you want the all black ones, just mention the black with the black handle. If you want the black one with the white handle in the white inside, just say black and white mug, I guess, as well. So that is true. Congratulations, Shelley. I want to, before I let you guys go, I want to bring up a couple more profiles because this project is amazing. For the profiles, I just am blown away by everybody's work for that. And here we go. So I'm just going to go through these rather quickly, guys. I will drop the links for them. If you don't get the links, you can always come afterwards, catch me on Discord and I can give you the links as well. So John Monash, I hope I said that right. And I just wanted to show you Monash. And it's just a really beautiful profile and pictures. I love the pictures, but his skills in planning a military position of precision and personality overcame constant immediate persecution based on his German Jewish ancestry. So again, I like to say the power of wiki tree. We've got not only the Anzacs, but we're also bringing in the Jewish heritage project a little bit, too, based on his ancestry. I thought that was really amazing and a different profile than I was expecting you guys to bring up. And we did talk about Alice Ross King. And one of you like to tell us why you this program? I included her because she got the military medal and she was well, she was just amongst a group of really brave nurses in on the Western front. Just trying to remember, is that the story where the the casualty clearing station got bombed? Yeah. And yeah, yeah. OK, so this was kind of what they went through. She was in these canvas tents. There's no protection with canvas, you know, there really is. It may be rain if you're lucky, but she's in the canvas tents and it got bombed. And she still continues to work and treat these soldiers. So that was amazing as well. We've got. Henry, we just are I said that name wrong again, I think, but we just saw him in the bingo. And I don't know how you guys get these photos, but they're awesome photos. I wish we could get more photos for our own wars. And you asked, but these are awesome photos. Yeah, well, it did seem to be a saying that when people when the soldiers were going up for that, get professional photos done and a lot of those have survived. And I think that's just fabulous. And he seems very important to the insects as well. It says here is responsible for one of the most decisive victories and fastest pursuits in military history. I just I thought that was interesting. The fastest pursuit kind of was what caught my eye. And John Royston, another fabulous photo, South African born soldier. And I think down below I've got some information on him. There we go. So in temporary command of the second horse brigade, the massive milk, 56 year old, wasting, galloped around the battlefield with astounding energy and courage. Fifty six years old, repeatedly riding 14 horses to a standstill. That could be one of those great folk lore tales or it could be true, but it's stuck with him now. So that's what he's known by. So I thought that was pretty interesting. And then, Darren, could you tell us about this New Zealander? Yes, it was the first Victoria Cross winner for New Zealands. World one. And he fought in Channock Bear, which was one of our bingo things and sorry, I can't remember what else, but yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was a sick one. So, like, when he won the Cross who was running with the pistol on one hand and bayonet on the other hand. That's all he had. So no rifle, no other thing in this stuff. Yeah, if that doesn't describe Anzac spirit, I'm not sure what that is at that point. That is amazing. That's truly amazing. So guys, that pretty much is the grand tour of Anzac's everything in an hour that we could fit. I really appreciate you guys coming in because, as I said, all three of us right now are dealing with probably some interesting internet issues and things going on. So I really appreciate that you guys join. You are the first ones from that side of the world. So you have that Anzac spirit and we're brave to come on to our bingo and help us out. Help us a little bit more about Anzac. So those of you that won, congratulations. I got to tell you, I am so thrilled, Katie, that you won, especially for this bingo and Shelly, that you won, especially since you give us a lot of the history. Before I let you guys go, I just want to point out that we are not here next Friday because that is Friday date night with Julie. We're always here every other Friday. So we will see you in two weeks and we have special guests as well. Then we are going to be researching with Germany project with flow from Germany, as well as DNA with mags in that. I will tell you that the Civil War this morning, the Anzac today that you're watching, the Germany research and the DNA were all because of you guys. You guys suggested this. I didn't go out and just start saying, hey, you're going to be on my bingo. I went out and said, you were a viewer request. I'm waiting for you to want to know more about you. So thanks so much for joining us. And don't forget, click that thumbs up and hit like. And we will see you in two weeks. I'm not going to hit the video because my internet will not allow us to. So hang in there and everybody have a good weekend.
