I was genuinely surprised at the missing information, as it seems a very "Jackson" thing to do to share credit and be inclusive.Trebianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02221916804339000102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615782020735321095.post-22933611494789729102018-04-16T09:11:34.679+01:002018-04-16T09:11:34.679+01:00I always like seeing these as I was lucky enough t...I always like seeing these as I was lucky enough to paint some.

They were fortunate, on the Western Front, to have a distinguished commander in Monash, who deserves all the praise he gets. That the ANZACs possessed a superior esprit de corps or accomplished things that British units could not is open to question.
