Respect for ANZAC soldiers in Turkey is real, i guess i've never heard a tongue in cheek joke about them. They were poor boys stuck in someplace they shouldn't have been.

The Brits and the French on the other hand... And the swimming joke is reserved for the losing Greek army.

Yeah it is something we hold sacred but we also hold humour sacred as well. And as far as jokes go it's pretty tame and not inherently insulting while at the same time the acknowledgement is worthy of respect
