April 25 is ANZAC Day, the anniversary of the start of the attack at Gallipoli in WWI. The slaughter in the ensuing battle was enormous, great enough that Turkey, the target of the Australian and New Zealand attacks, has renamed the beach where the landings took place to ANZAC cove. Turkey, in conjunction with Australia and New Zealand, also holds a commemorative event there each year.
Just pondering....
