Everyone knew something or was it <br />nothing and only professed exact <br />knowledge to quell their own fears? <br />They were certain a hidden truth was real. <br />These valiant few, like fighting men since recorded <br />history; that they, tomorrow maybe, <br />would land and fight so they, their cause would triumph. <br />Oh, if they had known the distant shore's name was Galipoli!<br /><br />Donald L.
