For the Ozmates out there, on the 11/11th at 8.30, the ABC is showing a documentary on Sir John Monash, the man who (I think it was Benjamin Disraeli who said) would have shortened the Great War by a year if he'd been put in charge of British forces in 1917.
Ask 99% of Australians (and 99.9% of Brits) under the age of 45 (and possibly a lot older) and I dare say you'd be hard pressed to find one who'd even heard of the man. If he'd been a Yank, Hollywood would have turned out a dozen movies about him and every school kid would know his life history. Not the way we (both Brits and Ozmates) seem to treat our great leaders.
Might be one worth taping and putting aside for the young'uns on some rainy afternoon.
