'TBM-Leg End' has the nod. I'll guess our ANZAC DAY is equivalent to USofA Veterans Day, while Oz has other days for Vietnam Vets - Battle of Long Tan and others. However ANZAC DAY is the big one here. Would youse believe we have Kiwis and Turks - as well as POMS - even CRABS! in our Oz Anzac Day MARCH? [NOT Parade] Have not been to one for ages but likely all the others mentioned are in the march also. Was not like that during the Vietnam War years but that is ANOTHER STORY. Have a gander at this:
"...ORDER OF MARCH http://rslnsw.org.au/commemoration/anzac/
The Order of March will be: WWII Navy/WWII Army/ WWII Air Force-Navy/ Army/Air Force-Civilians in support of Australian Troops-Descendants of Australian Veterans-Commonwealth Troops-Allies...."
Australia has a successful multi-cultural society bolstered by all those 10 pound POMs back in the 1960s. Here is a Turkish View of ANZAC DAY:
