This is a date well remembered by most Australians‚ but for what reasons? Do they think of “that guy with the donkey “or “ANZAC biscuits “or do they think: endurance‚ courage‚ resourcefulness‚ good humour‚ larrikinism‚ egalitarianism and of course‚ mateship.

    United States. The bitter sweet right to die for your country. Most of the time there is no real threat and your die for nothing. This was the idea of famous poet Wilfred Owen.
