I can appreciate where you're coming from, I lost my grandfather on my mothers side.
But to me, I look upon it as NZ's awakening as an independant nation. The Screwup at Gallipoli make us look at ourselves and
realise we don't necessarily blindly follow where England goes.
And that was a good thing
