    Lest We Forget

    P.S. Some of the loudest applause at the Melbourne ANZAC Day march today was for the members of the Turkish Sub-Branch of the RSL of which about 30 members were marching...
    Thanks for the good wishes, I'll pass 'em along to Mrs EB.

    It doesn't surprise me the Turkish RSL got a big nod in Melbourne. There is a genuine warmth between the two countries who both (rightly or wrongly) hold Britain ultimately accountable.

    Ever read any John Laffin? He doesn't mince his thoughts on the subject. I admire his work greatly although his critical interpretation of events is not popular up here in my bit of the world, as you can probably imagine.

    I figured you may have been to Gallipoli already, most Antipodeans I know have, but thought I'd let you know one of the current options anyway on the off chance you hadn't. I've stayed at TJ's hotel and though it's a bit basic (or was when I was there) it fills the needs adequately for the budget conscious. If you're ever thinking of making a return trip, let me know and I'll try and RV with you in Eceabat for a few days. We could put our exploring boots on by day as well as maybe sink a few scoops and chew the fat in the evenings. It could be fun that. I could even provide an interpreter.
