Thank you Binoy for your thoughtful and well-written piece. You wisely resisted comment on vice-regal endorsement of 'raising a glass' and the tentative, but evidently withdrawn, involvement of the VC in propaganda. Nor did you contrast the great words of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk with the utterances of lesser men who are surprised our 'enemies' do not wholly admire our trespasses against them. Mercifully, the truth about Anzac, as truth itself, is immutable and will survive whatever attempts are made to refashion it.
