Gallipoli tie-in: These Australian and New Zealand soldiers are the same ones who came here on the First Anzac Convoy. That's the one which was delayed because of the attacks in the Indian Ocean by SMS Emden. That delay meant that the convoy was only fifty miles away when Emden attacked the radio station at the Cocos Islands on November 9th, which led to HMAS Sydney stopping Emden.
These same men have been training in Egypt for this very invasion ever since.
