Ahhh well
Today was Anzac Day 2006.
A day to remember those who fought and lost their lives during war, and those who have died who have fought in a war.
Today is the day back in 1915 that the ANZAC's landed on Gallipoli. It makes me wonder, being a chess buff and all. whether chess was played by the ANZACS at war.
A google search found this site which uses the word "chess board" as if it was a part of the battle ground at galipoli: http://www.anzacs.org/pages/AOfaddy.html
The Navy plays chess: here.
There is a picture of a chess tournament on board the HMAS ANZAC!
More on this tomorrow. I need sleep.
