Aussies, let us leave politicians out of this debate.
Hero: General Sir John Monash, the best known and revered Australian Commander of WW1. He is still rembered today in Melbourne with a university, a public hospital, a freeway and a municipal district named after him. His image appears on the Australian $100 note. Israel has a village named after him. He was an enginer of brilliant proportions, and was instrumental in founding the State Electricity Commission of Victoria and although this utility is now defunct, the Yallourn open cut coal mine and the power grid he devised is still in use today. He was planning the building of Melbourne's Shine of Remembrance when he died. He was one of if not the first Allied Commander to think out of the box in the battlefields of France, and was instrumental in having Allied troops use fire and movement, which was a policy not known to the British commanders. Not bad for a son of Prussian-Jewish immigrants. Despite being knighted by King George V, he instructed that his tombestone in a Melbourne Cemetery simply bear the words John Monash.
The Australians had achieved a series of victories against the Germans at Chignes, Mont St Quentin, Peronne and Hargicourt. Monash eventually had 208, 000 men under his command including 50,000 inexperienced Americans. Monash planned the attack on the German defences in the Battle of the Hindenburg Line between Sep 16 and October 5 1918. The Allies eventually breached the Hindenburg line by the 5th of October and the war was essentially over.
Not bad for a son of Prussian-Jewish immigrants.
Other Heros: Ponting, Warnie. McGrath, Bradman, other Australian sportsmen and women too numerous to mention.
Villains: Skase, Bond, Ned Kelly
