Though all were different, they were sent as one. Status meant nothing, family, jobs and accomplishments irrelevant.
The emerging battle never to be forgotten, it’s scale so incomprehensible. Incredible hardships endured, a fight of courage, spirit, determination, passion and death.
“The duty clear before them,” was made so unclear by the blood, death and stench.
Landing at Gallipoli they were welcomed by a heavy rain of shells and gunfire. A deadly combination against an advancing army made up of struggling men in rowboats.
A mistake by the British Military meant that the ANZACS fell in colossal numbers at the start of the Gallipoli campaign.
During the war many were standouts, though all were heroes.
Fighting and in many cases dying for one thing, FREEDOM OF FUTURE.
Above anyone and everyone, they are heroes.
