# Hmm.
It seems to be how it's treated here. 'Happy ANZAC Day' is a bit of an odd phrase, much like 'Happy Remembrance Sunday'. It's right that it's observed here, but a lot of nationalistic morons treat it as an excuse to have a go at foreigners.
However, I really don't get why it's seen as the formative event in the recognition of Australia and New Zealand as countries, especially when you look at the casualty figures, as many here seem to think only Aus and NZ were involved.

# The War started in 1917 and again in 1941.
Otherwise the world was in darkness.

# Because it wasn't their war
and Gallipoli was such a fucking shower of shite.

It is hard to imagine more hardship and bravery than that.

# God knows why Turkey was anyone's war.
All sides suffered, Turks, French, British, ANZACS, the lot. Reading about how many died in a flash flood when the soldiers on both sides were too ill, cold and exhausted to climb out of their slit trenches rather than drown makes me feel very relieved I've never had to face that sort of thing.
Just finished reading one of the funniest war stories ever written about how a Welshman and an Australian fooled the Turks into being exchanged by convincing them they were telepathic.

# A book called "The Road to Endor".
There aren't many books that will make laugh like a kid on nitrous oxide, but this was one.
Looks like someone's taken advantage of the copyright expiry:
www.lulu.com/product/paperback/the-road-to-en-dor/174034
Expensive compared to 2nd-hand on Amazon. Having published on Lulu, I can see they're making up to 14 squid a copy.

# cheap by aus standards though

# Fair point.
I love QBD and Basement Books in Sydney - much cheaper and more likely to have decent wildlife books.
