Thanks for remembering!
Many forget!
Peter.

That is true, but I don't think there are any New Zealanders or Australians in the Banner ?

Just Turks.............lol

Oh, well, in the spirit of The Water Diviner, it's all good!

Something completely overlooked in the USA was that 2014 was the 100th anniversary of the start of WW 1. Yes, it was a world war even though the US was not involved at the start. The ceremonies in the UK and elsewhere went largely unreported in the US. 2015 marks the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli landings, hence the 120,000 plus Aussies that showed up at the dawn ceremony marking the occasion. Per Chief of the Army, Morrison:
"Their letters and their diary entries in copper plate handwriting more formal in expression to our modern idiom adds a layer to the sense that they were somehow different," he said.

"Their world, their hopes, their aspirations and fears are removed from ours by more than just the passage of 100 years.

"They are a generation seemingly set apart."
With all respect and admiration,
Peter.

Hi Ben and Blair, Thinking of you folks on Anzac day.Great banner!

Peter, When i was visiting the WW1 graves in 2008, I saw, I understand, the the biggest US war cemetery outside of the USA.
They were setting up PA and lighting at the memorial for a commemoration. Yourself, or some of the guys here, more knowledge than me, may be able to remind me which one.
If remember correctly the president was to be there.
So commemorations do take place, but maybe a bit closer to the area where the young men fell. jc [URL= ]
