There was a lovely snippet on the NZ service at Gallipoli when three Maori ladies, all members of the NZ Defence group attending with the NZ Prime Minister, fronted up to sing a song of remembrance. Now those three had just learned of the crash of the RNZAF Iroquois with three dead In Wellington, and they were clearly upset but nevertheless putting their hearts into the song when a small group of Turkish men started chattering among themselves only to be hushed into silence by a group of young Australians! Now that's what ANZAC means!
