"When it comes time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home."

Quote from:

Chief Aupumut, Mohican. 1725

Text Box: Unfortunately death is all around us. Statistics tell us 59 million people die every year, that’s an average of 2 every second. One person dies as a war victim every 102 seconds. One person is murdered every 61 seconds. One person commits suicide every 39 seconds. One person dies in a traffic accident every 26 seconds. One person dies from hunger-related causes every three seconds. One child under the age of five dies every three seconds. “Death is the most terrible of all things for it is the end”.—Aristotle.

Facts about Gallipoli in WW1

Far more British soldiers fought on the Gallipoli peninsula than Australians and New Zealanders put together.

The UK lost four or five times as many men in the brutal campaign as her imperial Anzac contingents. The French also lost more men than the Australians.

The Aussies and Kiwis commemorate Gallipoli ardently, and understandably so, as their casualties do represent terrible losses both as a proportion of their forces committed and of their small populations.
