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.

Out of curiosity...was the "rumor" true thet the Aussies were intent on murdering and raping the "turks" wives and children? And if not...is not the person/s responsible for spreading that rumor responsible in part for much of the blood shed?
