Anzac

[rolmops]

October 31 90 years ago was the last successful cavalry charge in military history.
The ANZAC cavalry corps attacked the turkish forces holding the desert city of Beer Sheva. Charging through a storm of cannon fire,suffering heavy losses the down under guys pulled it off for the last time in military history.
This week their descendants came back,50 of them and they re-enacted this 4 day desert trek culminating in a cavalry charge into the modern city of Beer Sheva.

I have been known to invade "Beer Sheva" a time or two myself; in fact, my neighbor is doing some BBQin' this weekend and we'll be invading some Beer Sheva on Saturday.​

Rumor has it that they were smitten ...by the modern girls.

Re: Anzac

I forgot what day is ANZAC Day in Oz? I flew in there once on ANZAC Day, big Holiday for them, and I don't think it was on Halloween. Big deal to the Aussies and Kiwis still . . .

BTW, for my little bit of "social controversy" for the day, the root of the word Holiday is?
