Anzac day
Curious to know of our ANZAC friends --and even Canadians-
if they are aware that 1000 Newfoundlanders participated in the Gallipoli campaign, Sept 1915 to Jan 1916 and also were tasked with the rear guard during withdrawal?
I tend to doubt the vast majority of Cdns know anything about this at all, but because Gallipoli is so ingrained in Aus and NZ..I wonder if it's known there?
