It is April 25. Anzac Day. The 88th anniversary of the Gallipoli landings by mostly Australian, New Zealand, British and French troops in 1915. In this single failed campaign, more than a hundred and twenty thousand people died in nine months, around half of who were Allied troops and the other half Turkish. I do have some thoughts that I want to share on the subject, but I am busy because I am giving a talk this evening, and do not have time to do the subject justice.
