As a Kiwi I am enormously proud if the ANZAC contribution to the Dardanelles Adventure, but this Austral nationalism often ignores the contributions and losses incurred by the Allies during the campaign.
Absolutely agree. The Indian and other colonial troops that also served in Gallipoli are almost totally ignored. Same for the French.
To also be fair, not much mention of Indian troops service on Western Front, nor the French.
