And the relatively few casualties on the actual landing day (about 643 killed) was apparently due to mistakenly not landing where planned, but in fact a shortish distance away where the Turks had neither machine guns nor barbed wire.<br /><br />Anyway, in all apparently 8709 Aussies were killed over the whole time (25 April to 20 December) compared with 61,522 Aussies killed in total throughout WWI.GrueBleennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-75563583896840231952018-04-24T12:51:04.454+10:002018-04-24T12:51:04.454+10:00April is a very strange month for Australians.

There is an enormous amount of propaganda demanding that we celebrate our collective tribalistic identity by celebrating to "events" which were both fake news events - namely easter and Anzac Day, especially as it is associated with the failed military misadventure that was Gallipoli - and the industrial scale slaughter machine in Europe.<br /><br />Easter celebrates a fake news "event" that never happened - namely the "resurrection" of "jesus".<br /><br />Anzac Day, or more correctly the Anzac "legend" is full of emotionally manipulative hype and old fashioned fake news bullshit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-50091820668211344092018-04-24T10:35:52.453+10:002018-04-24T10:35:52.453+10:00DP, you will remember Alice's Restaurant:
