I enlisted in the British Army in 1954, the gold standard at that time for some complete balls-up was, "It's the biggest fuck-up since Gallipoli."

And I'm surprised that the Guardian article above didn't mention the book 'Anzac's Long Shadow The cost of our national obsession,' by James Brown. It is worth a read for those who are bewildered by what has become of Anzac Day.
