Gallipoli Author's Notes anonymous August 5 2009, 08:19:32 UTC

New writer!anon here :s

Anon is going to try and fail to teach OP about the Gallipoli Campaign well sort of. This may of not been exactly what OP wanted but I tried :s

Anon apologises to any Australians or New Zealanders for butchering our history

Too clear any confusion
Australia = Jack Brown
New Zealand = James Wilson

The names are similar because the cultures are so similar and that’s the only reason this anon has /shot

Please note: Anon hasn’t been to ANZAC Cove so if anyone has please ignore any inaccuracies, and this is based before the year 2000 (see notes). Also what anon knows about her own country’s history she’s had to learn herself since my entire history schooling was all on the Lost Generation or Hitler, so there may be history inaccuracies as well. Anon also (much to her shame) hasn’t attended any recent ANZAC Day ceremonies so my memory is a little rusty.

Gallipoli Author's Notes anonymous August 5 2009, 08:21:25 UTC

On the 25th of April each year, hundreds and thousands of Australian’s and New Zealander’s gather at their local memorial site at dawn to pay their respects, at the Dawn Service , to the tens-of-thousands of ANZACS that have served and died fighting for their country. Each year the service grows bigger and the generation’s younger as knowledge is passed down through generation after generation, as families keep the spirit alive ( ... )

Gallipoli 2/? (Anon fails above is 1) anonymous August 5 2009, 08:24:35 UTC

New Zealand spluttered to clear his mouth of dirt, sand and grime and lifted his head to squint up the slope of the shore line only to put his head back down as another fire of mortars and bullets ran down on the beach. Over the sounds of explosives and screams of the men surrounding him he heard a whimper and looked to his side. Australia was flat on the ground his arms covering his head and shaking. Fear was a powerful thing, but New Zealand knew it was more to do with the fact he was feeling his people die. Being so close, both of them could feel their pain, their anguish and their fear. He crawled over and slung half of his body over his brother’s upper frame, leaning his head down to his ear so he didn’t have to yell ( ... )

Gallipoli 3/? anonymous August 5 2009, 08:28:26 UTC

“Hey James,” New Zealand stopped and turned around to see Australia standing between the two trenches, between once enemy and ally trenches. Australia’s eyes were dim and unfocused; he stirred slightly and looked up at New Zealand, “One of the best times in the trenches was at night, do you remember ( ... )

Gallipoli 4/? anonymous August 5 2009, 08:30:37 UTC

Seconds passed and then a frantic yell was heard on the Turkish side of the trench, and the ANZACS quietened down, some grabbing their guns and bayonets. The confused murmurs of the Turkish were heard clearly over the dead of night, only the fighting in the distance broke it ( ... )

Gallipoli 5/? anonymous August 5 2009, 08:32:54 UTC

The man in uniform took control of the microphone again and started the traditional poem For the Fallen.

They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.

He stopped and a soldier at the side lifted a trumpet to his lips and started playing the last post, and then a minute silence; Australia let himself remember.

”What?!” he couldn’t believe it, he couldn’t believe what his commander had just said, “What did you say?” his voice cracked, becoming despite.

“The English landed at their designated beach, they walked up unopposed for 500 metres or so and now are bunked down in make shift trenches. Their asking us for a diversion,” he stopped, the look on the younger officer’s, no, his nation’s face made his insides freeze. Australia had gone pale and his eyes held a hidden fury that the officer wished he had never seen.

“So those,” Australia breathed in trying to claim himself, “those ( ... )

Gallipoli 6/? anonymous August 5 2009, 08:34:37 UTC

“We are going to go back up to the trenches,” his throat was tight, it hurt to talk, “and we are gonna go talk to our men, we are gonna remind them of home,” he took in a shuddering breath, “and we are gonna remind them why we are ANZACS,” this time the younger brother needed to comfort the older. New Zealand pulled away and cupped Australia’s face patting his cheek and walked off, up to the trenches. Australia not more than a few paces behind ( ... )

Re: OP wanted to learn something anonymous August 5 2009, 08:36:44 UTC

New Zealand stepped forward to grab Australia but was stopped as a heavy hand fell on his shoulder. He looked back at France whose eyes were narrowed. He shook his head, no.“Australia and New Zealand joined his war to fight for their mother country. That includes laying down their lives,” England spoke calmly but the angry red splotches across his cheeks were an indication he was getting mad, and quick ( ... )

Gallipoli 8/8 (7 Above orz) anonymous August 5 2009, 08:38:11 UTC

An echo of “We will remember them,” was heard from everybody in the area, Australians, New Zealander’s and Turkish alike repeating the words to remember those fallen. Australia squeezed New Zealand’s hand and let go as Turkey pulled back his. A Turkish man stepped up to the microphone and took over as the wreaths were being laid by the veterans and those that are representing a unit. As they were being laid he said;

Those heroes that 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 the Mehmets where they lie side by side here in this country of our.
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.
Having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as we - Atatürk 1934He finished as the last wreath was laid down and stood back. A solider stepped forward, not to the microphone, and the command of “To the front, Salute” ( ... )

ANZACS were under British command again at some points during WWII, after that there hasn't been an instance where both country's have had to fight together on the same front. Even if we did, Australia and New Zealand will be under their own command not that of the British. The Australian's (not sure bout the Kiwis) pride them selves in the fact they have never lost a small battle under their own command - I have my brother-in-law to thank for that piece of information

Anon in awe anonymous August 5 2009, 12:42:03 UTC

*slow clap* That was... that was just, yeah.

To say that all you've done is retell everything I've learnt from primary school, studied heavily in history class, writen our history down with a different pov is incorrect. Yes you've done that, but you've made it just cut that much deeper. I'm tearing up, really. It's just, yeah, wow.

Especially this: “My people believed in you!” Australia was crying freely now his hands clenched tightly in the front of England’s uniform, while England had a rapidly growing black eye, “I believed in you! How could you do this to our people?”

Yes. Yesyesyes. You've perfectly captured all the pain and sense of betrayl Australians felt after WW1. I applaud you. Thank you. So much.

writer!anon anonymous August 7 2009, 10:42:51 UTC

*slow clap* That was... that was just, yeah. - anon you gave me a heart attack when I read that (usually when I say something similar I'm about ready to flame someone)

Yeah sadly, what I know of WWI with our history I've had to learn myself. I've been to three different schools and all of them would rather concentrate on the Lost Generation or Hitler (gets very repetitive after a while). Put it this way, I hadn't even heard of the Eureka Stockade intil my mum mentioned it 3 years ago (and I'm 21).

Thank you anon for your comment, really I was in two minds whether to post this or not

Re: Forgot something in Author's Notes anonymous August 6 2009, 15:19:47 UTC

not OP!anon still learnt something, despite being Australian;;

Am glad to see an Australia whose personality's more familiar to me than the strange crocodile wrestler I seem to be seeing too often elsewhere on the kink meme. Am also glad that New Zealand got mentioned- he barely gets any attention.

Other than loving your portrayal of Australia and New Zealand, the story is also very touching. Thanks for the wonderful fill.

writer!anon anonymous August 7 2009, 10:47:02 UTC

Retelling Gallipoli or anything about the ANZACs would not be the same without mentioning our New Zealand neighbours :)

I must admit, when I read fics that make Australia sound like Steve Irwin I have alot of trouble getting through it. I tried to make Australia and New Zealand as natural as possible (with a few tweaks to New Zealand's dialogue sence there are some things we pronounce differently)
