For those not familiar... Mustafa Kemal Atatürk was the commander at Gallipoli and later founder of the Turkish republic. During the initial invasion, he famously told one of his units: "Men, I am not ordering you to attack. I am ordering you to die. In the time that it takes us to die, other forces and commanders can come and take our place." Later, after the war, he commemorated the memorial for Australia, New Zealand, and Turkey with what I still think is the most moving thing ever said about war: Heroes who shed their blood and lost their lives! You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours. You, the mothers, who sent their sons from far away countries wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.
