Thank you from an ex kiwi soldier who lost an Uncle in Italy. He was 21 and is buried at Sangro river. I hope one day to visit. It is a shame no mention fo a true gentleman Charles Upham VC and Bar, one of the few to recieve the VC twice.
My Great Grandfather was an Anzac and Gallipoli Veteran - 1st Field Artillery Brigade, 1st Battery, 1st Dvision AIF - he landed on the shores of Gallipoli on the first day, his 18 Pounder was the only Gun that remained ashore the first day. His Battery - 1st - found a small hill they could roll their Gun onto where they fired upward of 500 shells, eventually silencing the Turkish Guns that were firing on the soldiers landing on the shoreline. He remained and survived on Gallipoli for 4 months before finally succumbing to Dysentery - something that killed more men during the campaign than bullets or bombs! He was removed to a Hospital ship and returned to England to recuperate, whereupon he was taken on strength and returned to his Brigade in France to fight the rest of the War with the AIF 1st Division until 1918. He suffered Trench Foot in France and other kinds of suffering that only men who experienced Trench Warfare could ever hope to comprehend. God bless the ANZACS and all those who made the ultimate sacrifice!
I'm Canadian 🇨🇦. We too "came of age" as a nation in War 1. This documentary could easily represent my country with minimal changes to the script. My family served in War 1, War 2 and in Korea. Fortunately everyone came home after... one missing a leg and 2 after having spent several years as POW's following the fall of Hong Kong. They both died very young because of the lasting effects of captivity - torture and starvation diet. To my brothers and sisters from Australia 🇦🇺 - we will remember them. To my brothers and sisters from New Zealand 🇳🇿 - we will remember them.
The Royal Newfoundland Regiment fought along side the Anzac's in gallipoli! I was fortunate to visit the battlefields and beach heads where both Anzac's and Newfoundlander's fought on the 100th anniversary of Gallipoli! BETTER THAN THE BEST
The movie is such an incredible classic. And without it, never would’ve been introduced to and become interested in further studying the unbelievably courageous contributions of the ANZACS in WWI, and shocking heroism & tragedy of the Gallipoli campaign.
Did. You mean credible, incredible means untrue. Aussie were no more brave than the British Canadians and others. Stop this mythologising of Australian military.
My Great Great gran father Wilfred Ivan Tchernegovski served in Gallipoli With the 1st New Zealand Expeditionary forces as a stretcher bearer and was awarded the military medal of bravery
So good to have a balanced account of the ANZAC history including the contribution of the NZ forces when most often these documentaries become very Australiacentric. Nice to see Sir Keith Parks get a nod for the Battle of Britain.
So proud to know that my great grandfather fought in this war . Doing Anzac day to celebrate there life both my grandfather and his father and brothers in ww1 and ww2 and korea.
My Grandfather was a “Desert Rat” and fought in North Africa and then through Sicily and the invasion of Italy. He had nothing but praise and good words for the Aussies & Kiwis who fought along side him ❤
My Great Great gran father Wilfred Ivan Tchernegovski served in Gallipoli With the 1st New Zealand Expeditionary forces as a stretcher bearer and was awarded the military medal of bravery and my Dad served in WW2 with the 2nd new Zealand expeditionary forces .
I think we do often forgot the contributions of the British Indian Army in WW1 and WW2. The Indian troops also fought at the Galipoli Campaign and also fought at the battle of the Somme and in the African Campaigns during WW1. During WW2 British India provided the largest volunteer force for the British Army and fought in crucial sectors of the war namely African theatre and the Sicily campaign. They also were responsible for turning the tide in favour of the allies in the battle of Imphal part of the south eastern theatre of war against the Japanese empire which is also referred to as the 'Stalingrad of the south east'. Field marshal Sir Claude Auchinleck asserted the British "couldn't have come through both wars [World War I and II] if they hadn't had the Indian Army". It is my earnest request to make a video honouring the soldiers of the indian army who fought in WW1 and WW2.
The Australian soldier in the centre of the title thumbnail photo is John Barney Hines known as "The Souvenir King" In the photo he is wearing a German cap and is surrounded with his captured and looted German souvenirs He was British born and lived in Mount Druitt NSW
Mount Druitt Was that the high school plastered all over the front page of The Daily Telegraph some years back as having the singularly worst Higher School Certificate aggregate results known to post-modern man ?
My father was in the 2/7th Div Cav Regt and though he died in 1992 I always remember him on ANZAC Day as it was the time in the war that made him the man i knew. My mother said the man she saw off to war never returned he had changed so much but they were almost married 50 years missing out by only months when he died. I grew up watching the Vietnam War on tv and knew the truth of war at an early age . I always think that no matter what we think of the battles or wars our service men and women fight in we should never feel hate towards them as they have made the ultimate offering for our safety and the lives we get to live. Also having been in a 2 way shooting gallery myself, I can say without a doubt that no one wishes for peace more than the service men and women as it is they who will have to pay the price of any war,they fight not for a government or idea when is all said and done but for eachother they never ask why they fight as to them it is always a simple answer its for their mates beside them on each shoulder! WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THEM
15,000 Irish troops also fought in the campaign and after the landing at cape helles the Irish earned the name cannon meat due to the amount of men they lost after charging the beach from the SS River Clyde.
We LOVE THEM,. For what they endured , we are forever indebted to them , NO greater love hath a man ,than this, that he lay down his life for another , ❤️ nz
nice video which showing two countries through blood of their youths were writing proudly brilliant tableau of Bravery & Fulfillment to wards world Democracy status
Hubert Wilkins actually took alot of the real graphical photographs he even ventured ahead of allied troops. Like great artists with their own studios they use their understories products.
This is imperial dribble. NZ was still more or less, in a case of civil war during WWI. The People of the Mist (Ngati Tuhoe, continued to resist the Crown into 1916). And many other tribes refused to fight. A lot of the Maori Pioneers were actually from other Polynesian isles such as Nuie & the Cooks.
Мы, русские, говорим и поем: «Не нужен нам берег турецкий и Африка нам не нужна!» А вот Британии и Франции почему-то всегда нужны чужие земли. И они вовлекли в эту войну свои колонии, которым война в Европе совершенно была не нужна.
Not the opinion of the Anzac soldiers of 1915 though, about 40% of whom were British born.The backbone of the AIF was a cadre of ex-British regular soldiers.
Tyron, Australia went willingly to war to save the Mother Country that is fact. They supported the King and the Empire. That is fact. You are way out with military history.
The WW1 allies were correct to try to capture Istanbul but should have tried via Egypt & Southern Ottoman with naval support where possible, instead of Gallipoli & the Dardanelles. Later they did hit Southern Ottoman with better success.
@@anthonyeaton5153it’s easy to have hindsight 100 years later but he’s right though, a naval invasion was impossible to achieve especially when it was already clear machine guns made a deadlock which high command should have noticed and scrapped the whole idea of naval invasions
Oh the 1940s... When people went "This giant hunk of steel almost killed me lawl" Instead of using psychological buzzwords to describe the experience. How far we've fallen.
Nice video showing sacrificed of Australia and Netherlands populations in 1WW..far from their mothers home lands.borders..also showed horrific & terrifying situations in trenches ...whey not taking attentional and labelling to indirectly policy and economy reasons which fired this terrifying war and draws all these souls? ...during 2WW ..USA helped Austria&Netherlands to gained their independence..
Wrong. Below are the reasons. a)The Aussies never deployed to Syria. b)There was no Great Britain in WW2. Great Britain had ceased to be a nation by then & c)As North Vietnam started the 2nd Vietnam War by hitting South Vietnam, North Vietnam were the only aggressors in the war.
Chen , I think he meant Libya. However, Australian forces have fought in Syria in both World Wars. In WW1,The Aust Lighthorse fought the Turks in Syria and captured Damascus before Lawrence of Arabia turned up and took the glory. In WW2 Australian troops fought the Vichy French in Syria.

Sincere thanks and admiration from USA to all ANZAC soldiers and sailors!

The blood of their youth was British blood.
This video tells everything BUT how the Aussie servicemember dealt with shellshock!
He drank. And drank. And drank some more.
