ANZAC day

[cut]

I just wanted to post this as an acknowledgement for the Aussies and Kiwis who fought for and since the Gallipoli campaign.

I've met some Aussies before that felt slightly anti-brit on this day, so this is to let them know we're thankful.

In Turkey, a dawn service was held on the beach in Gallipoli. Here, on 25 April 1915, Australian and New Zealand soldiers began a disastrous eight-month campaign.

In Thailand, crowds remembered Australian and New Zealanders prisoners of war who died building the "Death Railway" for the Japanese...

A lot of ANZAC troops payed the ultimate price in this area, fighting the french Vichy troops of Lebanon and Syria, may their soul rest in piece.

The anti-brit **** is a myth generated and perpetuated by history revisionists AKA labor party.

PRO UK for life!

Their lost will not be forgoten .
In the memory of the fighters .
As it was said , "For the fallen " :
"They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old:

At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

but the torn sacrifice of ordinary men
in a war to end all wars."
