SIGH
I think you are both (Seaver and cchris) missing my point.
I'm NOT knocking the fact that Australia reveres its war dead, especially those who fell at Gallipoli.
What I AM saying is that many Australians believe things, about Gallipoli, that are simply untrue.
And now I find myself in the position of defending and clarifying my statements; and it makes me look like I'm anti-Australian, or even worse anti-veteran!
All I ask is that you realize that a "Gallipoli myth" has grown up in Australia (not my terms, but those of the Sydney Morning Herald), and that many Australians believe that myth to be fact.
