Is the ANZAC meme ever going to die?

There were 3 times as many british soldiers to australians. There were more French soldiers than Australians.

Do they have this eternal fucking victim complex?

The US Army because the US MEHREENS grabbed the spotlight in the Pacific.

While missing gr8 land battles of the war like the whole Philippine Campaign.

Aside from an incredibly brief period of time during the invasion of Greece, there was not an Australian & New Zealand Army Corps in the Second World War. I have no idea why you used that term.

Pretty much. The 28th Maori Battalion did some neat things, but it wasn't anything particularly incredible that other units within the New Zealand Division didn't also achieve.
A lot of Maoris have some laughable misconceptions about that unit, (like that they used traditional weapons to destroy Panzers, and that they did a haka while under machine gun fire before conducting an assault).
It's a source of pride for Maoris.
