“…The RSSILA message was loud and clear, and many Australians received it wholeheartedly.Nonetheless, several notions of celebration and festiveness regarding Anzac Day were present from its first observance and only gained traction as the years passed. These occasions were also important because they brought a human element to the ethereal tone of the holiday and created personalized links to the broader narrative of Anzac(Mayes 2009). Afternoon picnics, sporting events, and other spontaneous activities, nearly always involving alcohol, sprang up organically alongside, yet in contrast to, formal morning programs.…”

"Throughout history, there have been occasions when a vastly superior military force has managed, against all odds, to snatch defeat from all but certain victory. The phenomenon usually has root in one of three causes: arrogance, such a blinding belief in one's own military or cultural superiority as to fail to take the enemy seriously; political interference; or tunnel vision, that curious tendency among war planners and generals to believe a flawed approach might be rectified simply by pouring more men and firepower into the fray. In early 1915, the British military would navigate its way to a fiasco of such colossal proportions as to require all three of these factors to work in concert." (Anderson 2013:103) "It perceived its differences from others more readily, and it examined its own nature more closely even if that involved much bitterness. It is true that Australia did not yet know what sort of nation it wasthe debate continues in fact. But that is not to say it did not know by 1918 that it was a nation: war abroad and conflict at home had seen to that." (Mandle 1978:23
