Ability to Put Past Hatred Behind Us

The brotherhood of mankind and the ability to put past hatred behind us was perfectly summed up by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk Mavi Boncuk |


‘Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives… you are now lying in the soil of a friendly country.Therefore rest in peace.There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side Here in this country of ours…
You, the mothers who sent your sons from far away countries wipe away your tears;
Your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace.
After having lost their lives on this land, they have become our sons as well.’

Anzac Day is a national day of commemoration in both Australia and New Zealand when they remember all those who died in war including Gallipoli Campaign
