ANZAC means Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. This is the story of the ANZAC's . 1914 World War 1 started, by that time Australia had been under control from the British Empire for a thirteen years and New Zealand seven years. 1915 Australia and New Zealand were witnesses to the new army of volunteer soldiers, they went to Gallipoli Peninsula to claim Constantinople, the capital of the Ottoman Empire and one of Germany's allies. The ANZAC's landed on April 25th. But the Ottoman Turkish defenders were ready for the attack. The soldiers knew that they would never win but they still fought for eight months dealing with the difficult times, bloodshed and the loss of friends and family(over 8000 people died during those rough time's). 1915 marked the end of the battle for the surviving ANZAC's, they were successfully evacuated by the British. The story of the ANZAC's warriors who gave their lives in Gallipoli, hit the citizens of Australia and New Zealand so in 1916(while world War 1 was still going on), they made it April 25th the day those hero's are remembered for their sacrifices and their commitment to keep freedom at all costs ( so leaving their families to protect our countries Australia and New Zealand). Today we hold events to remember and express gratitude for those brave ANZAC soldiers who selflessly lost their lives to protect and serve our countries.
LEST WE FORGET

The poppies look great. Did you get up at dawn and stand by your letterbox? You have included a lot of information in here so you have clearly been doing your research. I'm not sure what you mean by 'by that time Australia had been under control from the British Empire for a thirteen years and New Zealand seven years. ' This doesn't seem right to me. Especially seeing as in New Zealand we signed the Treaty in 1840. You might like to double check these facts.
ReplyDeleteI think it means the British Army had had control for seven years.
