In reply to:
non-anzacs
I thought ANZACS were a millitary force (Austrailian New Zealand Auxilary Corpe)
In which case, wouldn't most of the population of both Austrailia and New Zealand be non-anzacs?
My impression about ANZAC's is that the British Milliary general considered them "disposable" and fairly consistantly placed them in impossible situations-- and the anzac's died by thousands--and astounded British gererals by hold potions, or winning battles that were thought to be "unholdable" or "unwinable". (i might be influenced here by Austrailian films..)
