    SPIRIT OF THE ANZACS LYRICS:
    He's a drover drifting over Western plains
    He's a city lad, a clark down Flinder's Lane
    They're in the trenches at Lone Pine
    And on the Flander's firing line
    A willing band of ordinary menHe's all of them
    He's one of us
    Born beneath
    The Southern Cross
    Side by side
    We say with pride
    He is all of them
    He is one of us
    He's a pilot on a midnight bombing raid
    He's an Able Seaman on the Armidale
    She's a nurse in Vietnam
    They're on patrol in Uruzgan
    Sons and daughters rising to the call
    She's all of them
    She's one of us
    Born beneath
    The Southern Cross
    Side by side
    We say with pride
    She is all of them
    She is one of us
    The spirit of the ANZACs
    Proud and strong
    Spirit of the ANZACs
    Will live on and on and on
    He's all of them
    He's one of us
    Born beneath
    The Southern Cross
    Side by side
    We say with pride
    He is all of them
    She is all of them
    They are one of usThey are one of us

      Yamz_MG women still put their life on the line for their country, they saved countless lives and kept the war from ending up with more casualties, and saying they aren’t apart of ANZAC, is like NZ isn’t apart of ANZAC, which probably makes no sense, but it is all I could think of at the time.
      And, in say this, I’m not saying your disrespecting them, for you did say ‘they still deserve respect no doubt’, but female deaths were relatively quiet high during WW1/2 and Vietnam war, not just from the French resistance and those being executed, from the Germans, Japanese, Italians and the Vietnamese all attacked/bombed field hospitals killing medical staff or wounded. But if you do not agree with what I say that’s your opinion, have a nice day. (And try not to freeze to death)

    I'm a born and bred American, with dear friends in both Australia and New Zealand, and this song twangs my heartstrings. My American family had soldiers serve in both World Wars and Vietnam (and likely the Revolutionary War and Korea). As a Vietnam veteran friend so succinctly said, "For those who fought for it, Freedom has a Flavor that the Protected will never know." God bless each and every soldier, sailor, nurse, etc., that went to war and didn't come home, or came home forever changed.

    I went to the Australian War Memorial in April this year, we couldn't find my ancestor who had died in WWII so I put my poppy I had in another soldier's place as I do not know whether that soldier has any family still living in Australia or at all. But going through that war memorial was a memorable time and I'll never ever forget it. My family also got to see the changing of the guard (in the rain) but coming out of the tomb of the unknown soldier my mother noticed that one of the two guards were crying, most likely because he thought of it as sad that this soldier's identity is still unknown to this day. But to every soldier in the army, air force and navy today, I thank you for everything you do to keep Australia safe

      Although I don't have any ancestors of my own, I also went there as I was recognised in my school for contribution towards ANZAC affairs and I remember being told the same thing too about the unknown soldier.
      I thought it was an important symbol, since someone unrecognisable, represents more identity to the ANZACs than anyone with a face

      Really? I always think of how many people those politicians killed by sending all those young men to a war that wasn't ours to be a part of. They still do it. An army friend of mine just committed suicide a couple of weeks ago. Patriotism is just not worth it.

The burial plaque provides this information. So if you are going to the Australian Memorial outside of VB take time to stand before this man’s original grave and say a prayer of thanks for the life he gave up. RIP!

      @@mariamchangezi4979 so Erwin Rommel was a Nazi leader and he was a very good one. And well respected even by the allies, he and his troops he commanded are the only Nazis in ww2 that committed no war crimes... Rommel hated what the SS were doing to the Jews. Instead he passion was being a leader in the military... but during the Afrika campaign the Anzacs used every gun they could to stop the Nazis from advancing and they did stop them... in fact the Aussies and Kiwis were the first to stop the Nazis in ww2 in a battle. Although Rommel and his man were defeated Rommel grew great respect for the Anzacs for being such a fierce soldier... once he lost the campaign in tobruk. Rommel said to Hitler himself in person "if you give me a battalion on Australians I'll conquer the world for you". - Erwin Rommel.

      itachi uchiha Son, joining the army is a noble thing offering you a great career. But when the fighting needs to be fought, you are the one fighting and being shot at.
      The diggers in W.W.1. thought of war as an adventure.
      NONE OF THEM THOGHT IT WOULD BE SO HORRIFIC OR SCAREY.
      None of them set out to be heroes. In any of the wars we have fought in.
      It is the positions they found themselves in, and the way they handled themselves that made them heroes.
      If they could choose not to be in those positions, they would gladly NOT be heroes.

      To what extent were they motivated to fight by being told that it was their duty as "Christian gentlemen" to rescue Armenian Christians from "Mohameden Tyranny", which was, indeed, half of Churchill's reason for the offensive, not just supporting the Russians, which (although they couldn't have known) would have prevented most Communism over the past 100 years.

      Everyone forgets that half the reason the ANZAC were sent was to rescue as many Armenians as possible. Churchill's spies had picked up some photos of the genocide secretly taken by a sympathetic German Doctor, and was hoping, if Gallipoli had been successful, that several regiments could then be spared from Russian support to evacuate survivors. Alas, they never really got that chance.
