even though I am a U.S combat veteran the history and uniforms of the ANZAC forces has always held a special place in my heart. I have nothing but repsect for those guys and was proud to have served along side of them on more than one occasion.
you mean installing a military regime in shadow of government for almost 40 decades with US and leaving most of those that helped Japanese rule in Korea in government??? Right...WWI? Justified ! WWII? Justified...Korean war? It was about US taking control of Korea .Also,banning communist movements and locking up political prisoners is not freedom either,especially considering MOST of the rebel forces against Japan there were communist.Neither was leaving puppet government from Japan to still rule(not all of it thou) and putting up a military regime.Neither was massacring Chinese civilians and destroying China town...thou that was South Korean government/military fault and fault of US,but that is another story. And what about "burn all" policy for North Korea? I guess trying to commit basically genocide/country size massacre to fight the "plague of communism" was also for democracy and freedom? Even Reich did not go through what North Korea went through during that war...any excuse for such an act is an insult to humanity. I find it funny that for most of existence of South Korea,its army had to respond and obey US by treaty... That being said,it did prosper a lot with help of US and to some degree Commonwealth.But saying any of them fought for freedom and democracy there is quite funny.
You guys wouldn't happen to have the title for the song anywhere would you? But I honestly love this video. Really says a lot about how much has changed over the years, but never how proud we are as a country. Well done guys. Seriously.
Cyber Gaming my great uncles served in Gallipoli, the eldest became an officer of the light horsemen infantry that led the charge to Beersheba and many of the other battles
This was a great video, as a defence member I really enjoy seeing how out uniform has changed over the years, The DPCU or Auscam as it was called in the video was a little off from how we really wear it today, was expecting to see the first version of DPCU as well but in all It was an amazing video. Very well done
Dezzy D Thanks for the comment. We had the first version there as well but to keep it tight we just showed this version as it's more about the camouflage than the pattern. We had a gentleman who has just left the army in that uniform, who has served since Timor. Thanks again!
indeed very true my grandfather was a ANZAC in WW2 and he is alive a very well and my great grandma is almost 100 and was a nurse in WW2 and just recently she went to egypt and went scuba diving at her age and im enlisting myself in the ADF this year
Nice job! Well done to Ian and the team, who have done so much as re-enacters to keep our Australian military heritage alive. I am especially pleased that you did not forget our NZ conmrades. I'm also impressed you got it right up to AMCU...I've now changed over from DPCU but i've still got a pile of it at home. Maybe include the current NZ "pixel" cam for completeness? Not essenital-just a suggestion if there is a next time....well done guys!
New Zealand and Australia thanks for always being our closest ally best wishes from your allies Canada Britain and the USA united we stand close allies for life 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇦🇺🇨🇦🇳🇿
This is a cool video and it was interesting to see the Auscam uniform as I am part of an Australian cadet unit and a lot of that stuff is similar to our gear.
These uniforms will go down and are in history for many years to come. I’m Australian and these uniforms still make me cry thinking about the men and women that wore these into combat, with most of them not returning…
@@vesnabernjak-ord8674 I am not talking about that, you included women going into combat and most not returning which is utter garbage not one female in the australian army ever went into combat in those days. Ok nuffy.
Anzac troops have always given a good account of themselves wherever they were fielded. As they say about the United States Marines, "No better friend, no worse enemy."
It is with gratitude in the past, and with confidence in the future, that we range ourselves without fear beside Britain, where she goes, we go! Where she stands, we stand! - Prime minister of New Zealand Micheal Joseph Savage
I could not fault this amazing production. Well done. Of interest, at about 2:10, the sidearm is stowed for a "cross-draw", which is correct for wearing a cape, such as a greatcoat, or a gas-cape. The manuals tell you to do it the other way around, but that is literal suicide. I still have my original 'Nam giggle-hat, and scrim-net scarf! (And battle-dress and tattered jungle-greens that seem to have shrunk alarmingly over the decades!) My "Skill at Arms, Rifle" decoration was stolen. RSAR II.
The ANZACS have taken part in almost every war, but unfortunately they don’t get as much pride as other armies get. Their service isn’t always recognised by others even of their long existence
ExoticGamer If you think that the ANZACS get no pride then try being a Kiwi. The ANZACS are recognised, but replace NZ and you’re left with AAC. Trust me I’m telling straight facts that’s what happens when you’re a small country like us. You’re just completely forgotten about even if you do something good no one could give two shits.
@@patriot1724 Yet the Anzacs were the only one's to put a stop to Rommel and his Egypt campaign after all the other allies failed. We literally started kicking arse from the moment we landed. Anzac's were a small force, but a force literally built with heroic blood. Like Charles Upham, the only combat personal to win the VC twice and when the King pointed out to his executive military staff that to win the VC more than once would be highly unlikely, his staff replied with stating that in their opinion Upham had earn't/deserved it more times than that.

why is the lemon squeezer blue/black? also a few notes on the whole early nz uniform you have done, the collar dogs for a start are ww2 onwards and so is the lemon squeezer badge, there was a similar badge in ww1, but it wasnt that one, in ww1 they had territorial battalions with each their own badge, also the uniform its self wasnt the 1903 uniform, the kiwis used the 1912 uniform until in the western front it when it was mixed with british supplies, the lemon squeezer wasnt issued until 1916, it wouldve been a SD cap or mounted rifles style slouch cap, with infantry puggaree,
I feel like I have a special connection I don’t know but I was born on the day we rember our fallen soldiers who rushed the shores of Gallipoli and I’ve been going to Anzac services since I was a baby this is all so special to me
"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 to us where they lie side by side now here in this country of ours... you, the mothers, who sent their sons from faraway 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." Mustafa Kemal Atatürk - 1934
During Vietnam they had joint ANZAC battalions deployed and they were very successful, often the fire support was kiwi so even fully Aussie battalions had kiwi Artillery forward observer teams embedded within operational units. There is an easy synergy between them, both are Vegemite centric mobs of footy playing beer drinkers, so in a combat zone you can barely tell the difference. We both have ANZAC day, most likely always will, so I would assume we will continue to work on operations and cooperate into the future. Its a shame the governments of our two lands can't work better together for acquisitions and logistics, it is a shame the once feared RNZAF pilots are reduced to maritime patrol and taxi services. Many kiwi serve in the ADF, i served with about 15% of a battalion who were k1w1 and half the fast mover pilots I have met were also kiwi jet jockeys. We are family, dysfunctional cousins that you don't want to mess with, because when the need arises, ANZAC is a cohesive machine, no matter which side of the puddle you are.
Greetings from Turkey! Today, Gallipoli is no longer place of war; but a place where we both remember the brave sons who fought and felt here...
