There was a festive atmosphere about the farewell parades and ship departures that was soon shattered by the realities of war.<br /><br />2. troops of the Empire seemed readily expendible. In some of the battles, thousands of boys were knowingly sacrificed to enemy machine gunners, but for what? Ill-thought out battles that couldn't ever be won.<br /><br />ANZAC Day is still important.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2939913243601569607.post-83589504357954835452010-04-25T00:15:01.745+12:002010-04-25T00:15:01.745+12:00A very informative and moving post.
