ECEABAT, TURKEY - APRIL 25: Distinguished Australian war veteran Ben Roberts-Smith, who is a recipient of the Victoria Cross Australia, holds his hand over his heart as the Australian national anthem is played at the Dawn Service at the Anzac Commemorative Site, which is the main event to commemorate Australian and New Zealand soldiers who died during the Gallipoli campaign, on the campaign's centenary on April 25, 2015 near Eceabat, Turkey. Turkish and Allied powers representatives, as well as family members of those who served, are commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli campaign with ceremonies at memorials across the Gallipoli Peninsula. The Gallipoli land campaign, in which a combined Allied force of British, French, Australian, New Zealand and Indian troops sought to occupy the Gallipoli Peninsula and the strategic Dardanelles Strait during World War I, began on April 25, 1915 against Turkish forces of the Ottoman Empire. The Allies, unable to advance more than a few kilometers, withdrew after eight months. The campaign cost the Allies approximately 50,000 killed and up to 200,000 wounded, the Ottomans approximately 85,000 killed and 160,000 wounded. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)

Why is this so offensive?

IT is the image which epitomises our Anzac campaign, yet it’s riled our one-time enemies on the eve of the Gallipoli centenary. So just why are the Turks so cranky?
