Is the ANZAC Legend the result of mythology and propaganda or is it based on fact? The ANZAC Legend was formed by the Gallipoli campaign‚ mounted on the 25th of April 1915.

Sugar-Coated Lies Wars are always difficult to cope with. “Dulce et Decorum est” is a poem by Wilfred Owen expressing the hardships many soldiers had to face during the First World War‚ the importance of remembering the terrible events that occurred‚ and how completely bogus the phrase ‘it is sweet and right’ truly is. It must have been a horrifying experience for these men to fight for their country‚ especially at a very young age where they had a promising future ahead of them. But sadly‚ plenty

John F. Kennedy once said‚ “Mankind must put an end to war before war puts an end to mankind.” War has taken lives‚ stolen innocence and caused suffering. These themes have had a large impact on literature especially in the book‚ All Quiet on the Western Front and the poem‚ “Apologia Pro Poemate Meo”.
