True, the Anzac casualties at Galilpoli were less that those of the UK, but not in per capita terms.In human terms the cost of WWI to New Zealand was horrendous. Between 1914-1918 out of a population of 1 million nearly 17 000 men - 1 in 65 of the population did not return from the war. The total NZ casualties in the war represented one in 17 of the population. The casualties at Gallipoli were 33 000, including 8000 New Zealanders and 7000 Australians. Out of 10 000 Kiwis who fought at Gallipoli 3000 lost their lives and 5000 were wounded.
I think it also relevant to note that Anzac Day is, today, a celebration of the dead of all wars, in a manner similar to Armistice Day in the UK. The range and ages of ex-service people turning up to the Dawn Parade in Wellington is amazing.
I love it, and drink far too much far too early in the day!
