Anzac Day 2021: It's time to move on from Gallipoli
Advertisement On this Anzac Day, allow me to reprise a theme. For we Australians really are a weird mob, and I only ever really got my head around just how weird after doing 10 or so books on our wartime experience through the ages. The standout thing for me was how in the Second World War many of the same Australian troops who were the first to stop the previously unstoppable German Army in the desert sands at Tobruk and El Alamein, then went to New Guinea where they were the first to stop the Japanese Army at Milne Bay and on the Kokoda Track. (Let me hear you say âRAH!â)
