ANZAC
Day -
Commemorating the 90th Anniversary of Gallipoli landings
THE ODE
OF REMEMBERANCE
They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old. Age shall
not weary them, Nor the years comdemn. At the going down of the
sun, And in the morning, We will remember them. Lest we forget.
|
| The shores of Gallipoli
are intensely significant to Australians and New Zealanders, and in
recent decades they've seen a real healing and reconciliation between
Australia, New Zealand and Turkey. Every year on ANZAC Day thousands
of Australians make a pilgrimage to the place now known as ANZAC Cove.

Ataturk's
Reconciliation statement.
Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives... you are
now lying in the soil of a friendly country. therefore rest in peace.There
is no difference between the johnnies and Mehmets to us where they
lie side by side Here Here in this country of ours... You, the mothers,
who sent their sons from faraway countries wipe away your tears;
Yours sons are now lying in our Bosom and are in peace. After having
lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.'
MUSTAFA KEMAL ATATURK (1881-1938)
|
Founder
and first president of modern Turkey and leader of Turkish forces in the
Gallipoli campaign. The words above is Ataturk's tribute to those ANZACs
who did not return from Gallipoli.
