I went on a cruise from Istanbul to Venice and the first day early I got up to look for Troy. But there were Australians lining the deck and memorials on the north shore, and I found myself thinking of this song. Gallipoli was immediate to them, almost a century later and I stayed silent. (Didn't know enough of the words anyway.) I don't know what they made of Attaturk's generous words for the dead. | |||
