Casualty : Over 80,000 Arab and Turkish soldiers were killed. Their wounded number was doubled Australian soldiers. Nearly 9,000 Australian soldiers lost their lives. About 140,000 allied troops were killed or wounded. Total : Estimated causality was nearly 400,000 on both sides. Thank you, my dear friend and anthropologist's research data from Australian Museum site.
I love the picture book, "One Minute's Silence," that remembers the war from both sides and helps us to pass on the importance of peace to the present. I always cry, when I read that book.
Friends, Happy Painting and Happy Illustrating!
Margaret Hamilton shared a post. Books and bubbles! What else do we need? Come on 5May to celebrate these amazing creators and their books.
Lovely, sensitive painting, Sadami. I have not read the book, but will be on the lookout for it.
ReplyDeleteAnd, If I lived a few thousand miles closer, I would love to attend your event. Wishing you great success with your presentation!
Thank you very much, Chris! Yes, even if you google images of that book, the images with the text will touch your heart. Re my presentation, I just do my best. I'm a life long learner of life and art. Best wishes, Sadami
