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.
