    This is the first I've heard or seen of it. Staggering.

    Greeting from the U.S. This is one of best documentary’s I have seen. It is so in depth and such a personal exploration. You have honored your men with a beautiful museum. Our museum is in Kansas City Missouri. I have been there may times and plan a donation of my personal collection of WW1 relics. God bless you all. 🇦🇺🇺🇸

    I'm American, but I can walk across the Rainbow bridge to Canada in 15 minutes, aussies and Canadians are very similar, so polite, they will literally give you the shirts off their backs, but when war breaks out there is nobody I'd rather have by my side, and they both make very cool and beautiful women.

    All the sad, sad, mothers... what about the fathers? So many times people pity the mothers but the fathers apparently didn’t have sorrow or miss their children lost in the tragedy of wars.
    Mothers in past times could cry and mourn, but fathers were forced by their society to mourn internally and in private.

    Canadian here..ironic I should find this remarkable museum that honors the sacrifice made by a previous generation, when the rights of my Commonwealth brothers and sisters are being trampled. Stay the course what cannot stand, will not stand. You are not so removed from your forefathers values, that this will last very long. God bless...

      It was the best preservation, given the chunky legs weren't original.
