‘I
have always admired the pluck and humor of the Aussies. There was a story
about Australian troops at Gallipoli unloading supplies from boats at the beach
wearing only their underwear who were seen by a British General. Orders
were promptly issued that Australian troops would be dressed appropriately when
engaged in this activity. The next day the General again observed the
Australians...dressed appropriately, unloading the boats in hot sun and
surf...they were naked!!!”
