The ANZAC whitewash comes despite the 62,000 Australians who died in the Great War fighting for the British Empire and another 156,000 wounded, with no 100-year anniversary events planned by Britain recognising the sacrifice.
No mention of the New Zealanders killed and wounded there, just Australians.
"The British pretty much lost the war in July 1918, they were in retreat and it was the Australians and New Zealanders who got put into the gap … they were the ones that held up the Germans in places like Hamel (Somme, northern France), with the Americans too but basically the well-trained Australians, pretty battle hardened by then, who stopped the Germans.
