ANZACs, the
name used to describe the combination of the Australian
Army and New Zealand Army Corps during wartime. |
|
As part of the
larger British Empire contingent the ANZACs were brought
in from training in Egypt to participate. |
 |
On 25 April 1915,
the ANZACs landed on the Gallipoli Peninsula. Around
20,000 soldiers landed on the beach over the next two days |
 |
They all face a
well organised, and well armed, Turkish force determined
to defend their country - and led by
Mustafa
Kemal. |
 |
Thousands of
Australian and New Zealand men died in the hours and days
that followed the landing at that beach later become Anzac
Cove. |
 |
What followed the
landing at Gallipoli is a story of courage and endurance,
of death and despair, of poor leadership from London and
unsuccessful strategies. |
 |
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the
national hero and the
builder of Turkiye.
