The A.N.Z.A.C. soldiers battled on the Gallipoli peninsula. While on the peninsula over 8000 soldiers died. On the first day of the campaign just under 1000 soldiers died. All of the A.N.Z.A.C. soldiers were volunteers. Most of the soldiers volunteered to travel or show off, because they came from less fortunate families. Slide5
The soldiers fought in the heat and the cool as they were battling the Turkish soldiers for eight months. This battle was a failed campaign but through this journey Australia was had many changes, e.g. Turkey and Australia are now allies.Slide6
The most commemorative
time on A.N.Z.A.C. day is dawn. Because this was and is the ideal time to prepare for the enemy forces because it is still very dark and very few things are visible.As you can see in this picture the source of light is the eternal flame.
