Actually, the Eric Bogle song relates more specifically to Anzac Day,
April 25th when the troops of Australia and New Zealand landed at
Gallipoli. These soldiers are known as ANZACS because they comprised
soldiers of both Australia and New Zealand Army Corps.

Right- when the pathetically incompetent riffraff in command are
responsible for their slaughter, then we memorialize them...Why don't
you just call it fodder day?

We think of the fallen of WW1 as "Lions Lead by Donkeys" so your
comment is technically correct, but very disrespectful. Do try to be a
little less unpleasant in your choice of phraseology, especially at
this time of year.
