Don't Forgot The Kiwi Brother's Too.

These figures were just Australian, but its even more impressive
when you quote the combined "Anzac" numbers. Depending on which history book you read it seems we had more soldiers out there than anyone
per capita... Nobody gonna take what we got without a fight
thats for sure !

Australia and New Zealand are so close these days I dont know why
the two countries dont just get it over with and combine officially
on everything. As it is we can travel to and from each country
without passports, use each others currency. It really reminds me
of the Hawaiin deal. They are officially a part of the Mainland
(as we all know). Do you think most kiwis would like that proposal
or do they still remember that last ball underarm in the cricket ? lol...

[Panamark]

It would be called "Australasia" and let each island keep
its original name (Including Australia)..
I think theres a case to include New Guinea too....

We were all once the same country after all, and face it,
Austalian and New Zealanders are more like each other
than we admit. If you blokes could get your vowels in
the right order, we would even sound the same.

Yes, in fact Australia's willingness to defend itself is quite legendary.
If you look at our actual population in WW1, the number of men who
voluntarily went off and fought, and the number we lost. Its
huge.

"For Australia, as for many nations, the First World War remains the most costly conflict in terms of deaths and casualties. From a population of fewer than five million, 416,809 men enlisted, of which over 60,000 were killed and 156,000 wounded, gassed, or taken prisoner.

The outbreak of war was greeted in Australia, as in many other places, with great public enthusiasm. In response to the overwhelming number of volunteers, the authorities set exacting physical standards for recruits."


I've read elsewhere where we our population was 4 and a bit million,
half a million went off (voluntarily) to fight. Thats a shitload of the general
population wanting to defend the homeland. WW2 stats reflect the same
percentages.

WW2 we had 6 and a bit million general population and around 1 million
went off to fight (voluntarily)

I guess if you applied the same percentages against the much bigger
nations involved, this is actually quite impressive. Again this was all
about homeland defence, not religion.

Seems thats the only other way apart from Religion to unite soldiers,
unless we bring mercanaries into the equation !!

How About This From Us Kiwi's.

When the United Kingdom declared war on Germany at the start of the First World War, the New Zealand government followed without hesitation, despite its geographic isolation and small population.

The total number of New Zealand troops and nurses to serve overseas in 1914-1918, excluding those in British and other Dominion forces, was 103,000, from a population of just over a million. Forty-two percent of men of military age served in the NZEF. 16,697 New Zealanders were killed and 41,317 were wounded during the war - a 58 percent casualty rate. Approximately a further thousand men died within five years of the war's end, as a result of injuries sustained, and 507 died whilst training in New Zealand between 1914 and 1918. New Zealand had the highest casualty and death rate per capita of any country involved in the war. The First World War saw Māori soldiers officially serve for the first time in a major conflict with the New Zealand Army. 2688 Māori and 346 Pacific islanders served with New Zealand forces in total.

Scotland lost over 150000 men out of over 500000 that fought. We had a population of 5 million at that time as well.

Woohoo we win in deaths from the pointless war!

Inventing stuff and cannon fodder is what we specialise in.

[Seshmeister]

Plus half the Kiwis would be Scots too...

[Seshmeister]

Can only speak for myself, but...
Not being a welder by trade, didn't know it was used in applications outside of explosives...

Lighten up, Francis.

You just made the list, buddy.

[Panamark]

You wouldnt guess it by the way they talk now !

They sound like Aussies with the vowels the wrong way around.
Dan will back me up on this one !
I cant pick on the kiwis, as I have met too many really awesome
New Zealanders. We love to take jabs at each other, but at the same
time have the greatest respect...

[Seshmeister]

It looked like I was going to be doing some work there this year for a couple of months but it's not happened so far - maybe crunch related.

Apart from some video conferences about that with Kiwis I only need to order a drink at a bar in London to hear the accent.

Let's put it this way...when I was six years old, my brother purchased a dog for our family. My father, due to his experiences in WW II promptly named the animal ANZAC. During the war, my dad had met several Australian troops during his tours, and learned about the experiences of the ANZACS in the first world war. My dad took the time to explain to me what had happened at Gallipoli, and further told me of the bravery of the Australian troops he'd encountered.

You see, the animal my brother brought home was an Australian Terrier. I was thankful for the dog at the time, but over the years I'm far more thankful for the lessons learned about the ANZACS. As a friend of mine at another site once so astutely pointed out: "Australian troops have balls the size of locomotives".

Stupidity in this thread creating great imbalance in the force it is. Wobbling, spinning over the place even. Strong with the force however Sheen is. Even if misplaced his trust in Barack is. Hmmpph.

Charlie: Hey, here's a fun fact. You're sleeping with a girl who was born when you were in Junior High, and yet there's a good chance she lost her virginity before you did.
