	Transcript: General Peter Cosgrove interview
		Peter Cosgrove has taken 40 years to get to Gallipoli and we were with him when he arrived here today and took his very personal tour of duty.
		Peter Cosgrove: It just seems to me that perhaps we're at that level of maturity where our young people are thursting for knowledge about that marvellous generation of pioneering Australians who brought us into federation and then the cream of them went off to war.
		Peter Cosgrove: Yes. I actually think this helps to sum up the spirit of Anzac, Kemal Ataturk, the father of a great nation, said the words, "After having lost their lives on this land, they have become our sons as well." I think for all Australians, that sums it up.

	Peter Cosgrove will be a hard act to follow - Opinion - www.theage.com.au
		This is because Cosgrove's public profile has been part cause, part effect of a wider phenomenon: the elevation of the ADF, and especially the army, to a more central place as one of the key institutions of our national life.
		To those who work with him, Cosgrove's qualities are exactly those that the public saw and admired when he was in East Timor: a direct manner, genuine courtesy, ready grasp of fundamentals, quick decision, and an ability to say what he means simply and directly.
		Cosgrove's time as CDF will be remembered primarily for the role the ADF played in the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003.

	ENOUGH ROPE with Andrew Denton - episode 89: Peter Cosgrove (08/08/2005)
		PETER COSGROVE: Oh wonderful, wonderful, attractive, vibrant glamorous woman that I thought, "Wow." And uh...and then later on I thought, "But if she's keen on me she's going to need to like the army." And I thought, "Well, that will be tricky." But she turned out to be able to tolerate the army tolerably well.
		PETER COSGROVE: Oh, "Above and beyond the call of duty, service to her nation." I think Lyn and all of the service spouses, increasingly these days, more and more husbands with wives in the service.
		PETER COSGROVE: Oh, certainly a different sort of a war to the one I was involved in in Vietnam.

	General Peter Cosgrove: My Story - Book Reviews - Books - Entertainment
		Cosgrove describes him as a "Falstaffian figure", though it's clear he felt much closer to his maternal grandfather, Bob Henrys, a World War I machine gunner who came to live with the Cosgrove family.
		Cosgrove recalls an early standoff in September 1999 between a convoy of 500 withdrawing Indonesian troops and militia and a small Australian checkpoint led by a 22-year-old officer.
		Cosgrove takes the cudgels to those who dismissed him as "no intellectual", saying he felt that the day-to-day command of the defence force was more vital than "policy formulation".
