ANZAC
Commemorating 100 years
On 25 April 1915 thousands of brave
young men went ashore on a foreign beach
in a far and distant land.
ANZAC
Soldiers from the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps
(ANZAC) faced a formidable task – to seize the Gallipoli Peninsula
and suppress the Ottoman defences guarding the Dardanelles.
Commemorating 100 years
The Anzacs went ashore under the cover of darkness, but as
morning dawned they faced an entrenched enemy and rugged,
unforgiving terrain.
Heavy casualties were suffered on both sides and a stalemate
developed. The campaign dragged on for eight months and
soldiers endured extraordinary hardships.
News of the campaign had a profound impact back home.
Reports of the Anzacs’ courage under fire, commitment to the
task, loyalty and mateship forged a powerful and lasting legacy.
ANZAC
Commemorating 100 years
From the shores of Gallipoli
to the valleys of Afghanistan
– in theatres of war and peace –
this Anzac Day, we commemorate
100 years of service and sacrifice
by the men and women of the
Australian Defence Force.
By the end of the First World War in 1918, a young nation’s
identity was emerging, reflecting the sacrifice of the Anzacs at
Gallipoli, on the Western Front and in the Middle East.
This milestone year – the centenary of the Anzac landing at
Gallipoli – is significant beyond measure in our nation’s history.
I’d encourage you to attend a local service on Anzac Day to
remember and commemorate more than a century of service and
sacrifice by those Australian men and women who have served –
and continue to serve – in defence of our values and freedoms.
