We were put stuck one mile north of their intended landing beach. In the dark, our assault constructions became mixed up, but all our troops slowly made their way inland, under growing conflict from the Ottoman Turkish guards. Not long after coming ashore the ANZAC plans were rejected, and the and crowds were terrified into battle piece-meal, and received mixed orders.

    50,000 British troops attacked the Turkish defenses around Beersheba on October 31 1917 they were supported by tank and artillery but failed. With sunset approaching there was little hope of taking Beersheba before night if ever but the many horses that were bought with had been ridden across the dessert in 50-degree heat without water for 48 or more hours. It was in these circumstances that brigadier William Grant of the Australian light horse approached General Harry Chauvel with a suggestion of a frontal charge across 5.5km of open ground towards 4,400 Turkish soldiers with a total of 60 machine guns and 28 field guns. The German officer commanding the Turkish defenses described it as “madness” but general Chauvel decided it was their only hope of taking the town before nightfall and gave the order. So it was then that the 800 men of the 4th, 11th and 12th light horse mounted their horses and set off to face a more numerous, better armed force with superior positions we will never know what made them do this with no complaint it may have been thirst or just listening to an instruction but we do know it was very courageous.…

    World War 1, the war to end all wars, lasted from 1914-1918. It was triggered by the assassination of the Archduke of Austria, Franz Ferdinand which led to a global war that was centred in Europe. Officially, Australia as a whole enthusiastically and patriotically defended Great Britain at the outbreak of war in 1914. Australia was geographically and politically isolated from what was happening in Europe. However being part of the Commonwealth, when Britain went to war, Australia became involved for political and economical reasons. However, at an individual level Australians enlisted in the war for very different reasons, largely social pressures and the lack of employment during WW1.…

    In the beginning of war, young Australia wanted to prove their loyalty and worth to their “mother country” which they mostly still relied on. At the time, other nations had more men in their army then Britain, so Australia was keen to provide them with soldiers. When enlisting soldiers, the government hid their true thoughts and only provided the public with the exaggerated truth. As the war went on and more people died, Australians finally realized the truth of war. Even though their opinions changed, they still provided Britain with needed soldiers. Even when the armistice was signed and the war ended, the impacts was still felt in Australia for years…

    At the outbreak of the Second World War, Australia as a nation was still very closely tied to the British. Therefore when war was finally declared after a period of appeasement, Australia’s Prime Minister Robert Menzies of the United Australia Party, made his famous Melancholy Duty speech, committing Australia to the war effort. However as the war waged on, and when Winston Churchill’s promised support was most needed, they weren’t there. It was America that showed up to help save our proud nation, leading to disillusionment in Britain’s supposed benevolent power and a turn to the USA for help.…

    Women play such an important role in todays society but without pivotal moments in history women in Australian politics such as Julie bishop wouldn't have been able to make an impact on Australia in the way she has. Australia was the second country in the world to give women the right to vote and the first to give women the right to be elected to a national parliament. Our state, the state of South Australia, was the first parliament in the world to grant women full suffrage rights. Julie Bishop is the first female to serve as our foreign minister, in this position she has reached great achievements. Just recently her involvement with the missing flight MH17 showed not just Australia but the world that a woman is quite capable to deal with international crisis’ like these. Would families of the victims of that flight been fought for as much if a male was in…

    I had just arrived to my destination: Gallipoli, Turkey. As nervous as I was already with shivers down my spine nearly every minute I didn’t want to lose my young life tomorrow. It was a long ride but my troops and I were prepared for what could come our way. We jumped off the half sunken ship due to the enormous amount of soldiers. It was going to be a long and hard battle. The water we had to walk through to set up our camps was muddy and clumpy I was hoping I don’t get trench foot. Me, as the leader leaded on where we have to set up our camps. We set up our tents around the gruesome field of dead, yellow, sun dried grass next to the sandy rough hills. Rain had just started sprinkling and the next minute, hailing, it lit out our fire along with a deathlike thunderstorm. The dogs started howling under the glowing half-moon that gave us the only light left. I knew the next day only brought frightful visions of what will come to us tomorrow….…

    The effect of The Great War on Australian society was one of the most challenging impacts on Australia. During the great war 60,000 men were killed and 156,000 men were wounded, the grief and sorrow felt from the loss of the men during the great war impacted for generations. Not only were our losses one of the greatest conflict in Australian history but The Great War also began the Anzac tradition, which gradually became a part of Australian identity. Given the appalling conditions of the trenches experienced by soldiers it is not surprising they suffered numerous diseases, illnesses and mental torment from the threat of being bodily harmed or wounded. The mental anguish suffered by returning soldiers would have impacted on the men who fought…

    I am Keith Marquez, I am a ninth grade student attending Windsor High School in California. I am writing to you as I have an issue with your policies on immigration. My mother had to immigrate to the United States from Mexico. I know first hand how it is like to be born to immigrants and she is anything but a criminal. I believe the immigration laws you plan to put in place should be less harsh and only convicted criminals should be deported. No one should be forced to leave the country if they are contributing to the society by working. No one in Mexico wants to come to the United States, they are forced to by terrible living conditions and a strive to have a better life for their family. The wall you plan to build is not needed and I believe…

    The Australian Government also had a main part in the country's involvement in ‘WW1'. They wanted Australia to be feared by other countries and wanted to show adherence to Britain. This also gave Australia the upper hand as Britain would return the favour by joining Australia's side in battle if needed. Australian troops were also very naive at the thought of war and took it as an adventure. Pay was also far substantial to the average working wage which also influenced more volunteers to sign up.…

    PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as the military combat, natural disasters, terrorism incidents, or any major tragedy. This is common in the life of veterans and is the leading cause of suicide among veterans. A VA patient who survived in Baghdad shares his experience with PTSD and explains how he knew he had this disability. Many veterans speak out about this issue and describe their continuous anger, alcohol addiction, and constantly wanted to fight. They usually feel very isolated and distant from their loved ones. One patient states, “PTSD involves rocketing into extreme states of stress re-activity; in the form of terror, rage, and uncontrollable impulses, and plunging into equally extreme states of being shut-down—exhaustion, emotional numbing, despair, and dissociation”. PTSD is about having fear and anxiety, allowing veterans to rage with anger and different emotion. There are many factors to PTSD, which affects others in different ways; or example, using video games to keep them occupied, spending money due to the lack of impulse control because of changes in their brain, and even not obtaining another job.…
