John Sheehan, known as Jack, was my great grandad.

Jack died on the Western Front on Anzac Day 1918.

His battalion saved England, and won the war.

My great grandad was a hero.

Tub thumping Tommy doesn’t think so.

That’s because he’s not.

With Anzac Day over, and the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli campaign just under a decade away, it’s time to re-examine, re-frame, and hopefully tame, the Anzac legend for the start of its next century.
