Lest we forget

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

I'm guessing they would be included in the term service men and women, even if they did talk funny. Let us not forget that we became a nation within our selves, both the Aussies and the Kiwis after this point, never again to be used as cannon fodder but lead by our own. Two quotes I remember from a radio interview with a historian regarding this period, both regarded the ANZACs lack of '"respect" for tradition:
But you must salute me, I'm a Colonel
Too right, best job in the army, ya done well mate
And
Salute me, I'm a British officer
Well, when you write home to mum you can tell her you met a real soldier today

I was deeply affected by the information this gentleman was making known, ANZAC's were sent into more than one unwinnable battle and slaughtered for zero gain in the war effort.
