  • To many Captain Alfred Shout was known as the Laughing Cavalier-to others he was simply one of the bravest and most decorated Australian soldiers of the Gallipoli campaign. Media Magnate Kerry Stokes paid $1.2. Million to donate Captain Alfred Shout's Victoria Cross to the War Memorial. What is it about this hero of the infamous battle of Lone Pine that has captured the imagination of so many and why is he the epitome of the Anzac spirit?

    Mia looked so much like Alfred when she found out she was going to touch the real medals. That smile looked just like his in his photos.

    Alfred Shout was actually born in Wellington, New Zealand! He emigrated to Australia after service in the Boer War, in 1907! Remember that New Zealand put the NZ in ANZAC!

    Atrocities committed during war (by any/all side) should be able to teach humans what a waste war is.
    What happened to this fine man (and any soldier) is an atrocity.

    Mustafa Kemal Ataturk,the Great Turkish Leader wrote the famous words that reached out to the mothers of his former enemies, in 1934 ? and shrouded in doubt by cynical Allied Nations,who seem ostriches
    and deny all those who caused them loss..severe loss
    “Those heroes that shed their blood And lost their lives.
    You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country.
    Therefore, rest in peace.
    There is no difference between the Johnnies And the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side
    Here in this country of ours,You, the mothers,Who sent their sons from far away countries
    Wipe away your tears,Your sons are now lying in our bosom
    And are in peace After having lost their lives on this land they have
    Become our sons as well”.
    Bravo,i applaud you Kemal Attaturk ,for the largeness of your Heart and Compassion in your Soul ,to so say these words of an Enemy who caused you much harm,needlessly,and fought a Battle at Dardanelles very bravely but doomed at the outset.
    Ill conceived,ill prepared no Ammo ,Equipment or adequate men,the 10 month long horrendous saga was a tragedy of epic proportions,Churchill should have been tried,sentenced to death,hanged,drawn and quartered.
    He sent too many utterly Brave men to their certain death. to satisfy his overblown Ego much like his proportions...
    As First Lord of Admiralty,at 40 the ambitious Churchill , rising Political star, and Dreamer, also fancied himself a Military strategist who had bold answers and bolder strokes to end the First World War..
    exceeded
    His callousness 3 decades later led to the Great Indian Famine of 1943 in Bengal,4 Million poor Indians dead...written

    I'm not buying the 3 grenade story, it's too farfetched imo. I mean to theorize that Shout put one or two lit grenades in his pocket is ridiculous! Story reeks of sensationalism. I mean even Oliver didn't seem to buy it. Shout was a bona fide war hero, I'm not disputing that, I just don't buy that particular story.

    Naturally, all the families and people of the world need healing about Gallipoli and the killed Australian soldiers. However, the documentary fails immensely for not emphasizing the reckless ideas and orders of Churchill, who clearly didn’t care if Australians would be killled (just used them as fodder), while at the same time depreciating the Turkish people. Also, there is no word about the slaughter of Turkish by Australians, as well as the opposite. There is no bravery that is justifiable by slaughter of other people and of your own. Is bravery only in complying to orders of corrupt governments, over the people of other corrupt governments to fight the people of yet another corrupt government? True, bravery may be in taking care of others (family as well as supposed enemies), but the documentary should tell, or at least allude to the other sides of that Gallipoli Massacre (the Turkish people suffering), as well as its relation to the previous Armenian genocide and the suffering, misgivings of Armenian victims as well as its leaders culpability. No history can be told with only one side being able to speak.

    I don’t appreciate that Timeline has added these History Hits advertisements with Dan to all their videos and I am considering canceling my subscription since I pay extra for Premium UA-cam to avoid ads. I am not interested in Dan’s new channel and I consider his ads a waster of my time and am offended that they have gotten around the removal of ads to Premium subscribers by adding ads at the beginning of every video. Sure, I can and do fast-forward past Dan, but I don’t appreciate it and therefore every video, regardless of quality of content, will get a thumbs down from now on.

      . . As it was, his aversion to religion, in the sense usually attached to the term, was of the same kind with that of Lucretius: he regarded it with the feelings due not to a mere mental delusion, but to a great moral evil. He looked upon it as the greatest enemy of morality: first, by setting up fictitious excellences-belief in creeds, devotional feelings, and ceremonies, not connected with the good of human-kind-and causing these to be accepted as substitutes for genuine virtues: but above all, by radically vitiating the standard of morals; making it consist in doing the will of a being, on whom it lavishes indeed all the phrases of adulation, but whom in sober truth it depicts as eminently hateful. (John Stuart Mill about his father.)
