Discussing ‘Gallipoli?’

The post I put up here Monday about Gallipoli has already started to generate one of the most interesting cross-cultural discussions I’ve ever seen in the blogosphere… It’s definitely worth following the whole flow of the comments there.
Commenters include some fairly vocal Ozzies (oops, sorry, Aussies!) and Kiwis, not all of whom agree with each other– or me!– but all of whom are definitely eager to explain their points of view… a Singing Nun… the descendant of several Lebanese (or perhaps in those days they called themselves Syrians) who had been conscripted into the Ottoman Army and fought to defend the peninsula… and Yankeedoodle of Daily War News in unprecedented (for me) military historian cum “our roving correspondent” mode…
But that’s not all. As I say, definitely worth a peruse.
Note: I want to keep all the Gallipoli discussion in one place– over on that post, not here. So despite possible appearances to the contrary this post is closed to comments.
