Just got back from the Dawn Service memorial at Galipoli. There were an estimated 7,000 Australians / New Zealanders who stayed up all night to be there for the start of the service. It has to be said that I doubt there are many more moving experiences than a two minute silence, by so many, at a site (Anzac Beach itself) where the first landings took place as the sun comes up.
There are also fewer more interesting places than the Galipoli peninsular, for those interested inj things military. It's very hard to imagine such loss of life in such a small area and even now the bones of the dead can be found laying around.
It's worth a visit if you ever get the chance.
