Sad Britian doesn't recognise the sacrifice of their colonies. The whole UK should pause for Anzac Day....The Australian defence forces members all swear an oath to serve her majesty faithfully and to resist her majesty enemies wherever and whenever. They are the queen's men and women ...they should get some recognition. I know there is an Anzac Day ceremony in UK but it is not attended in mass like their own armed forces day
