Hmmm. Just to jump in, in WW1, the ANZAC troops were probably the best Allied troops bar none.

Them British Commanders are famous for fighting to the last Australian.

They are indeed fairly highly regarded as Specfor units go. Almost on par with the British SAS.

Even if they do look rather silly rapelling out of a transport chopper head first.

I presume the Aussie's no longer fight under British command. Right?

No, they've now chosen the US as their new master.

Yes, that's right - we still import British officers. We couldn't find anyone locally with leadership qualities.

Whilst not wanting to insult the Anzac troops who died in WW1, the British troops died in equally appalling numbers. The Generals treated them all badly.

The image portrayed is that ar Gallipoli the British sat offshore watching aussies die, which isn't really a very fair picture
