Question:

What is your favorite historical battle,land sea or air?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Well I'm not sure if battles and wars are in any entertainment, but the Gallipoli campaign was certainly one that catches my imagination...and for a great deal of Australians would feel the same way.

Out of that campaign, the battle of Lone Pine is inspirational, simply because young men (19-21) run straight into Turkish machine gun fire. It was certain suicide, and they knew it. The bravery of those boys is a testament to the Australian nation. It is taught in schools as the defining moment when Australian's 'came of age' on the world scene.
