On April 25th 2015 while we remembered it was 100 yrs since our Anzacs landed on Gallipoli other Commonwealth countries
commemorated their own...and we in Australia, New Zealand and Canada remember with them.

Bomber Command Of more than 10,000 Australians who served in RAF Bomber Command in WW2, 3486 died on operations, and several hundred more were killed in training accidents and other mishaps. The total number of all British and Commonwealth aircrew killed while serving with RAF Bomber Command in WW2, amounted to more than 55,500, [close to 50% of all who served], with many more being wounded and/or becoming Prisoners of War if they were lucky. Not only was life for Bomber Command aircrew highly dangerous and stressful, but there was also intense pressure on their hard-working and highly skilled ground crews who kept ‘their crews’ bombers flying. - See more at: http://www.shrine.org.au/Remembrance/Stories/The-Australian-Contribution-to-the-RAF-Bombing-Cam#sthash.YG2hRiib.dpuf
