100 years ago today, the Battle of Gallipoli started.
A sound strategic idea, well conceived, poorly executed by the allied leadership, and bravely fought by ANZAC and Turk soldiers.
For some reason I associate this battle with the Boer War. Mainly because the movie Gallipoli came out at about the same time as Breaker Morant and they both involved Australians.

You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...
