ANZAKS (sp ?)
Some of the best fighting men in the world. Take your back and then some.
Met a bunch, not a wilting violet among them.
Originally stood for Australia and New Zealand Army Corps. Formed in 1914 for the First World War, it marked the first significant deployments of both Australian and New Zealand troops under their own flags, since they became sovereign nations, in 1901 and 1907 respectively (having previously been British colonies). The Corps first went into action at Gallipoli, Turkey on 25th April 1915, the anniversary of which is now ANZAC Day in both Australia and New Zealand - our most sacred day, seen as the day our nations were baptised in blood, and the day we commemorate those who have served and in some cases, fallen for our nations in time of war.
