Tomorrow is ANZAC Day in Australia, our most important day for commemorating and recognising the sacrifice of armed servicemen and women. To coincide, here is a re-release of speechwriter Don Watson's interview about the Paul Keating's 'Eulogy to the Unknown Soldier' delivered at the Canberra War Memorial on Remembrance Day 1993.
The occasion was the interment of the remains of one Australian solider, dug up from a battlefield on the Western Front.
It is a revered speech in this country, the words are now chiselled into the Australian War Memorial itself and the phrase 'He is all of them, and he is one of us'; was even at the centre of a political stoush in 2013 over whether it should replace Kipling's 'Known Unto God' on the graves of Unknown Soldiers. (Kipling won the day).
This is a shorter episode than the usual Speakola length. If you are interested in Don Watson and his speechwriitng career, the previous episode is much more detailed, and discusses Watson's somewhat broken relationship with the former Prime Minister.
Watson's most recent books are 'There it is Again' (Collected Writings) and The Bush.
The speech is now up on Speakola for the first time with vision thanks to Rhett Bartlett and Rhettrospective.

“The offensive is the only way of insuring victory.”
- General August von Keim, 1912
In the episode, we take a look at the prevailing belief that the military offensive was far more effective than the defensive on the eve of the First World War. As World War I is infamous for the horrific slaughter of trench warfare in which troops had to "go over the top" and attack headlong against powerful fortification, this is a classic case to examine if the generals were blind or if their critics are using hindsight.

"It's a very classic wine region for the grape variety, Clare Valley in South Australia. It is a family owned producer, all the family still works in the vineyards making the wine, so I thought that was a very nice start" - Carlo Santos MS

C'était la première fois que les quatre divisions des troupes canadiennes avaient été regroupées pour la bataille de la crête de Vimy en avril 1917. Après cinq jours d’intenses combats, les Allemands sont expulsés de la crête. Cependant, cette victoire se fait au prix de 3 600 morts et 7 000 blessés. Cet épisode nous apprend que pour la première fois dans l'histoire militaire du Canada pendant la Première Guerre, les Forces canadiennes combattent en tant que corps d'armée distinct, indépendant de l’Empire britannique. Mais aussi, est-ce que tu sais qui était les Munitionnettes, et ce qu'était un gaz moutarde ?

From the Schlieffen Plan to Verdun, the critical years of 1914-1916 set the stage for major upheavals in 1917. For expert analysis of this period, we sat down with Dr. Michael Neiberg, author of Fighting the Great War and Dance of the Furies: Europe and the Outbreak of World War I, to discuss the strategy and major events of the Western Front and how 1914-1916 influenced the post-war peace.

Support the showAndrew Lock discusses the progress made by the British Expeditionary Forces between the battles of the Somme (1916) and Arras (1917). Although lessons were learned during the Somme campaign, Arras clearly exposed command and preparation deficiencies, leading to setbacks and the highest casualty rate of any British offensive in the war.
