Over moderation would be deleting this topic[:p] Bud has always been more than fair in the way he administers this forum and that has been no different this time round

Thankyou PeterM.....I did read your posting B4 it was removed, and was quite taken by your views. So I Googled the history behind it all and was quite astounded by what I found. A few more people should educate themselves regarding the leadup to this war, botched by incompetant British commanders and it's waste of life...thankyou again Peter, I have certainly learen't something, especially when I have the medals of a relative who never came back from Gallipoli.
As John North wrote, "No battleground so easily lends itself to retrospective sentimentality", and, sadly, to mythology.

Plod???

I didn't think so.
