Who is Australias most respected soldier ?
Although Australia has produced many fine soldiers and many VC winners the one that stands out from the crowd is a Jewish engineer of Polish/Prussian stock, the man who played a big part in the Monier Concrete business, the man who organised to bring our boys home after WW1, a bloke who worked his way up from the bottom using nothing but his own ability and who served at Gallipoli and in France and Flanders, leading a Brigade, a Division and eventually the entire ANZAC Corps. He was of course, John Monash.
