AUSSIE SOLDIERS: They were always with the Kiwis a pain in the ass to the Poms. John Monash should have had the command in frnace. Read Monash-The Outsider Who Won A War. If you can get it the Aussie mini sereies ANZACS is excellent. It is region 4 so you would need anydvd to play it, I have it, if you have anydvd....... JOHN MASEFIELD ''During the war the English suddenly became aware of a new kind of man, unlike any usually seen here. These strangers were not Europeans; they were not Americans. They seemed to be of the one race, for all of them had something of the same bearing, and something of the same look of humorous, swift decision. On the whole they were taller, broader, better-looking and more graceful in their movements than other races. 'Yet in spite of so much power and beauty they were very friendly people, easy to get on with, most helpful, kind and hospitable. Though they were all in uniform, like the rest of Europe, they were remarkable in that their uniform was based upon sense, not upon nonsense. 'When people asked, who are these fellows, nobody, at first, knew. 'The strangers became conspicuous in England after about a year of war. They were preceded by the legend that they had been "difficult" in Egypt, and that they had to be camped in the desert to keep them from throwing Cairo down the Nile. Then came stories of their extraordinary prowess in war. Not even the vigilance of the censors could keep down the accounts of their glory in battle. For themselves, they were a very modest company, whom sometimes one could hear singing to the tune of "the church's one foundation": 'Since that time, the Australian army has become famous all over the world as the finest army engaged in the great war. They did not always salute; they did not see the use of it; they did, from time to time, fling parts of Cairo down the Nile and some of them kept the military police alert in most of the back areas. But in battle they were superb. When the Australians were put in, a desperate feat was expected and then done. Every great battle in the west was an honour and more upon their banners. 'No such body of free men has given so heroically since our history began.'

Not invovled, foloowing. I am Ex RNZAF former pilot. Now Aussie citizen, transferred to Inactive reserve RAAF if we ever get near WW3 I shall be liable to be recalled at my retirement rank (Air Commodore)--I was bumped 1 grade on the inactive list on Xfer They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.

many thanks

I know he was gassed--so was my uncle Ted in 1916, he returned to duty but the effects of the gas, plus miner's lung killed him in 1932. He was my Dad's eldest brother, so I never met him. He served with the NZ Army (22nd Batt.). I lost four other relatives in that war, all on Mum's side of the family, 2 at Gallipoli--one is the first name listed on the NZ War memorial at Lone Pine Trooper A R Armstrong, Second Otago Mounted Rifles, My Great Uncle Arthur. He was working on a farm in Otago Province and did not travel back to Greymouth but enlisted there. The others died on the Western Front. BTW It is now beleive that Von Richthofen was killed by an Aussie machine gunner

can't seem to do this in game, how do I set realism?

The Australian War Graves Comission need to identify our Diggers because Fromelles is a largely forgotten battle here. It was a "scheme" that shoould never have been tried, and it cost a lot of good men who had survived Galliopoli thier lives. We are going to identify all of them and they will all be buried with full honors in a new cemetary. Incedentally if one of our lads had been abtter shot, he might well have killed a certain Gefreiter Hitler, A., @nd Bavarian Reserve Inf!
