Some Australians that I knew when I was in the US Army view Gallipoli as just another example of the British Empire sacrificing its colonial troops for its own narrow agenda. Why get UK troops killed when you can send in the ANZACs and the Canadians.
By the way it was a force of Canadians that were used for the landings at Dieppe, and they paid for it dearly. Dieppe was for the lack of a better word an experiment to see if the allies could land an invasion force.
