Cumbrian, Sorry, no moral relativsm was meant. You are correct in all you say. After mention by someone else of the NZ contribution (losses) I was merely interested in the statistics.
if you were to read most Australian tomes on the Dardanelles campaign, UK and French casualties hardly rate a mention
Unfortunately your are right. As with the thread running on Bombing Command you read of RAF losses, not British, Canadians, Australians, New Zealanders, etc, remembering that some of the squadrons involved were not RAF. e.g. Canadian bomber squadrons were attached to RAF Bomber Command groups. Canada, however, wanted its own identifiable presence in Allied air operations overseas, and it did not want its air force to be merely a source of manpower for the Royal Air Force. To this end, 6 (RCAF) Group was formed 1 January 1943 with eight squadrons. At the peak of its strength, 6 Group consisted of 14 squadrons. Its just how history gets written whether we like it or not.
