I find this deleting messages thing a bit strange to say the least. One post states that there "was as a disproportionate contribution (and sacrifice) from the Anzacs in WW1. as the Aussies and Kiwis went off to do their bit for King and Empire and the 'pride of the British race'."

I simply asked the question disproportionate compared to who? It is a fair question as the statement is misleading as that all the major combatants from Europe had greater losses per head of population than either NZ or the Aussies did. The UK included. Not denigrating anyone as of course all the countries suffered a great loss but there is nothing wrong with getting basic facts right! If we are to have perfectly polite posts deleted for questioning statements then shouldn't the original statement be deleted too?
