Cal Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I would like to add to what's been said. The Anzac forces were meritorious wherever they were sent and fought with honor and strength. Cal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Emms Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 A tribute to the memory of the ANZACs by M. Kemal Atatürk, 1934 (Founder of the Turkish Republic in 1923) THE ANZAC MEMORIAL 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 far away 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassman Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 A few years ago in the Virtualvfr days, we used to complete a memorial flight on-line from various airfields in Turkey, depending upon which aircraft you flew, so that all would arrive over Gallipoli at abouit the same time. Perhaps next year?? My wife and I visitied Gallipoli a few years ago and I was surprised at my own emotional reaction reading the ages of the young men who lost their lives. Also, various pictures of the young Turkish men who also lost their lives effected me too and are also to be remembered and honoured. That is what Anzac day is about, not glorifying war or celebrating a victory (the allies were soundly defeated) but solely to remember the sacrifices on all sides.
