And all of our trouble wasted!
All of it gone for nix!
Still...we kept our end up-
And some of the story sticks.
Fifty years on in Sydney
They'll talk of our first big fight,
And even in little old, blind old England,
Possibly someone might.

Çanakkale Savaşında bir Anzac askerinin yazdığı şiir
Bütün çabamız boşa gitti!
Herşey bir hiç uğruna!
Gene de elimizden geleni yaptık, sözümüzü tuttuk.
Hikaye elli sene sonra hala anlatılır,
Sydney'de
Biri ilk büyük savaşımızdan bahseder.
Hatta belki eski kücük Ingiltere'de,
eski kör İngiltere'de
Belki biri anlatıyordur...

Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives ... You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours ... You, the mothers who sent their sons from faraway countries, wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.
Kemal Ataturk
