Pvt. Roly Collins quotes from Anzacs

(voiceover) One soon learns to expect the unexpected in the Army. On the day we were to leave Australian waters Turkey came into the war on the German side. Instead of the fields of Europe it was the sands of Egypt and then to a place called Gallipoli. We even received a new name, ANZAC. Pat (Cleary) said it sounded like a South American Indian tribe but it stands for Australia and New Zealand Army Corps.

(in a letter to Marty who is recuperating from his wounds in a hospital in Lemnos) Dear Martin. The news just came through that you are alive and recovering. It sure lifted the spirits of the old platoon, particularly Dick and Mr. Armstrong. It was a real pleasure at seeing them back to their old selves again, not that there is many faces left, just 11. Things have been pretty lively over here. Not even the generals are safe. Our commander Major General Bridges was killed the other day. A few of the reinforcements showed up well, particularly a bloke called Flanagan. He is sort of like Bill and Pat in a way. He has a nose for trouble and can anticipate. Most of us have had more nicks including yours truly but nothing serious. Oh, and there is some furfee about a big attack so stay in hospital. Pat says only mugs live here. Best from all the boys, even McArthur. Yours, Roly.

We should not call you Wilhelm. That's the same name as the Kaiser. That is what we should call you, Kaiser Schmidt.

Pat, the Germans are over there.

Martin, what does that sign say?

40 men or 8 horses

The French put a lot of importance on their horses, eh?
