I mean, what were Australian young men doing invading the beaches of Turkey in 1914? What lunacy pitted two nations almost on opposite sides of the globe against each other.

Australia INVADED Turkey. 'The Turk' was fighting for his wife and family. They were told we'd rape and pillage them. No wonder they fought so fiercely.

That was the last time Australians fought under British commanders.
