Believe it or not, tens of thousands of young Australians and New Zealanders make a pilgrimage to Turkey in April every year to commemorate a dopey scheme by British Generals that resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of teenagers in 1915 in one of the most beautiful places on Earth. See http://www.talkingproud.us/International042506.html . That defeat was a significant event in the coming of age of the Antipodean nations who still remember the decency of Ataturk and his attitude towards all the fallen soldiers, not just his own. Actually there are memorials about it in Australian and New Zealand cities where you will never find a monument to any other foreign statesmen.

As for your comment about "changed attitude" - that sort of provocative false statement is generally made by people who are on a self-destructive downward spiral towards being banned. Whassamatter? ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
