Its called passing into history Nick. They are now on the same list as the lads
from Ladysmith, Inkerman Waterloo and Culloden... and all the way back to Agincourt, Crecy
and the blokes that walloped the Vikings at Stamford bridge.

Time and tide wait for no man.

Bill....I never heard it before I stumbled upon it on YT. I was looking for stuff on the landings at Suvla. I just finished a book about the founding of modern Turkey and Ataturk that I got from the Library. His defence of same. The ground was a bastard disaster for the Aussie and NZ blokes. Poor buggars
