Image # 73. Name the film title. Image taken off a rare Australian one sheet. Leading up to Anzac day, a day in that we in Australia remember those who served and died in war and on operational service, I intend to include a number of film images leading up to Anzac day from films dealing with Australians at war . For overseas members who may not know Anzac ( Australian and New Zealand army corps. ) day is held every year on the 25th of April in Australia.
Image # 75. Name the film title. An American made World War 11 film with a connection to Australia. Image taken off a U.S. insert which is similar to the Australian daybill.
Top image # 77. An Australian film with image from a U.S. poster.
Image just above # 78. An American film featuring Australians at war. From an Australian daybill almost the same as the U. S. 3 sheet poster but minus a few planes, building. tank,etc on the right hand side.
Image # 79. The last of seven images featuring Australians at war presented on this thread. From a Czech film poster produced for a famous Australian film. Name the film title. It would be great if the six remaining unidentified images can be answered by ANZAC Day being held on the 25th of this month.

El Alamein...found it last night but for some reason thought it had been answered.
Clues are proving difficult . The images from a British quad from the first release in the U.K. is the only thing I could come up with. The film isn't British though. The British quota reference would be because the film originated from a member of the British Commonwealth with this being Australia.
