Google 'Battle of Broken Hill' and you will see what I'm referring to. This is an event that took place during WW1. An attack on unarmed persons by a couple of fanatics who expected to die for the cause as a result. Not much has changed in 100 years.

David,

I will have to look it up as I am not aware of the connection you refer to. The very fact that you put this incident in a historical context proves we are here to discuss military history and are not in the business of mud-slinging.

Thanks again,
Hanno
