Ruskie, I know this posting is 3yrs+. In the next coming years,mainly from Gallipoli (2015) onward will be the centenary(100) remembrance,although for both our ANZAC countries (I am kiwi),the main focus in this instant is ANZAC Cove landing. I am totally, aware,that your Federal (AU) Goverment has set up a high profile commendation advisory board. The secondary roles, I am certain (unquote) would somewhere include the Western Front and our MR involvement in Palestine. If it is still unsolved today, then go,to the top (State or Federal) to help unrevil the mystery, because the interest is there now and for your  "Pollies" good image for them at Au election time.  ANZAC Day onward, was the beginning for both our countries nationhood,away from the colonial past. What you have,the forgotten letter,is Australian history, that
give respect,to who you are today. I am aware of the past timeframe,hoping this one you receive. Go to "NEW ANZAC CENTENARY ADVISORY BOARD ANNOUNCED- Oct 11-2011-By D Veteran Affairs.
