Johnson established technical claim to the heavyweight championship on one
holiday and became undisputed king of pugilism on another. It was on Christmas day, 1908, that the negro met Tommy Burns in Sydney, Australia At the time, due to Jeffries' retirement, Burns was ranked as the technical title ' holder. Johnson battered him to a pulp in 14 rounds.

So the Aussies celebrate Christmas Day on the 26th? Get your facts right, Jim.

I am not Australian, so you have not insulted me.

Did an Aussie screw your mother or something? Why the hostility?

It ain't no seriousness to me.
But I was brought up to acknowledge and respect the sovereignty of ALL nations above all else. So i was curious what brought out this ultimate derogatoriness.
But my mistake. I applied my own pristine standards of humility to your sunken ethics of superiority based on national borders and worthless expensive monarch's and what-not.
SORRY MATE!

"Australian visitors, not surprisingly, spend most of their time at Gallipoli at the cemeteries and memorials of Anzac. However, a day or two given to visiting some of the Turkish monuments and memorials in the area will provide an insight into the Turkish perspective on an event which has played such a major role in Australia’s understanding of itself*. At these sites are powerful stories of courage, determination and sacrifice. Such places are a reminder that these qualities were not only to be found on the Allied side of the lines but were, and remain, a common inheritance of all peoples who have been involved in the tragedy of war. This bond between the ordinary soldiers and sailors who fought at Gallipoli was well expressed by the President of Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk:

There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us
Where they lie side by side
Here in this country of ours.

[‘Johnny’ – name signifying an ordinary British/Australian/New Zealand soldier: ‘Mehmet’ – similarly, a symbolic name for an ordinary Turkish soldier.]"

What's this, aussies and kiwis in war? For WHO Dec?
Aussies and Kiwis Dying? For WHO Dec?
*Australia's understanding of itself as a pawn, a source of expendable manpower for a power without enough of it's own manpower.

I meant Whom?, I said Who? It has a harder sound and lends a more interrogative tone.
