It must be mighty convenient to live in such an insignificant and backwater part of the world that I can't even find any good response except this:

[Masada]

Bah. I can't even tell what that is .

and from all over the Commonwealth did they come, to serve a distant Empire;

and in lands far removed from their homes they fought;

Spoiler :

not once but twice, and twice did they return home many less

[das]

Bah, at least mine is a painting. All you have is photos.

And it's supposed to be General Mustafa Kemal at Gallipoli, naturally.

 

[Masada]

In the national mythologies of the conflict we all won, the Turks got Turkey, the ANZAC forces became nations

 

[das]

Oh, certainly.

You still lost the battle, though.

 

[Masada]

We would have won, had we been put into the right beach. But we won the war. Charge of the Australian Light Horse? The entry into Jerusalem? Silly Ottomans.

 

[das]

[sarcasm]I didn't know Allenby was an Australian New Zealander.[/sarcasm]

 

[TaylorFlame]

You still lost more soldiers in the battle then our side, though.

The Battle of Beersheba, in which the Australian cavalry charged the Ottoman positions:

I daresay that we, as in the Russian Empire, lost infinitely less, good sir. (If you are talking about Gallipoli rather than the war in general, which would be a bit silly of you, I guess)

 

[TaylorFlame]

Ah. Well, good sir, it seems I have been outfoxed by my own ignorance and unwillingness to read your location.

 

[Masada]

Allenby was an adopted New Zealander, and an adopted Maori.

Das is Turkish only a Turk would use Memel as an insult no real Russian would

 

[TaylorFlame]

And considering that Memel praised the ANZACs after the war, he's not exactly public enemy no.1 in Australia.

 

[das]

It took me a while to figure out that you aren't referring to the city in Lithuania. That's a pretty silly nickname and that man has had enough nicknames as it is.

Wait, how are steam-powered ships on wheels a bad thing thing? To say nothing of floating castles. That's worth drying/flooding the world for, respectively.

Okay, because alex994 isn't doing his patriotic duty I'll just do it for him:

Spoiler Peter the Great :

Because there are many epic Peter the Great paintings out there, you see.

All of them were awesome, except for the last one. Mongols just rule.

I deny your nationalism Dachs and raise you 10

Spoiler :

That's been done... perhaps if my memory serves me

I deny your Russia and raise you 10

I also deny your Dane and raise you 10

Can't resist.

Memel?

Funfact: they're supposed to be Chinese (hence the alex994 reference), except the ones who are Japanese (and the Russians and Swedes in the last one).

Memel?

Yeah. Apparently that's what the Antipodeans call Kemal Pasha nowadays.

[North King]

When did this forum become a nationalist cesspit? Where's the Epic art?

 

[das]

Are you by any chance serious, here?

 

[North King]

Pretty much, yeah. The thread is supposed to be for badass pictures, not pictures from your nation that occasionally might verge on slightly awesome.
