Anzac Day is one of Australia’s most important national commemorative occasions. It marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War.

...

The Catafalque Party made up of members from Australia's Federation Guard, mount the Catafalque at the beginning of the Lone Pine Service at Gallipoli.
About the Anzac Day

When is Anzac Day?
Anzac Day falls on the 25th of April each year. The 25th of April was officially named Anzac Day in 1916.

What does 'ANZAC' stand for?
'ANZAC' stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.

On the 25th of April 1915, Australian and New Zealand soldiers formed part of the allied expedition that set out to capture the Gallipoli peninsula. These became known as Anzacs and the pride they took in that name continues to this day.

Why is this day special to Australians?
On the morning of 25 April 1915, the Anzacs set out to capture the Gallipoli peninsula in order to open the Dardanelles to the allied navies. The objective was to capture Constantinople (now Istanbul in Turkey), the capital of the Ottoman Empire, and an ally of Germany.

The Anzacs landed on Gallipoli and met fierce resistance from the Ottoman Turkish defenders. Their plan to knock Turkey out of the war quickly became a stalemate, and the campaign dragged on for eight months.

At the end of 1915, the allied forces were evacuated. Both sides suffered heavy casualties and endured great hardships. Over 8,000 Australian soldiers were killed. News of the landing on Gallipoli and the events that followed had a profound impact on Australians at home. The 25th of April soon became the day on which Australians remember the sacrifice of those who had died in the war.

The Anzacs were courageous and although the Gallipoli campaign failed in its military objectives, the Australian and New Zealand actions during the campaign left us all a powerful legacy.

Convict Streak -- what a bum-licking joke of bravado

especially when we know that of the WW1 intake .. the famous ANZACS .. 90% and more were first generation Poms, and some second generation

and the ANZACS back then were still wearing British Army issue caps. The slouch hats didn't come until much later


Yeah - most of our History is a Media embellished propaganda crap and lies.

Australia stacks on the guilt against England for Anzac day, when the English paid the heavier price.
These 'bravado' Anti-English Australians are the first to go grovelling to the USA like highly dependent sooks.
Even now, Australian soldiers do 'Mercenary' missions for the USA - not that the USA has had any bearing on our past.
The lies of Watzing Mathilda, Blaxland-Wentworth-Lawson and many other 'Colonial' propagandas.

Yes the Slouch Hat was never a Gallipoli thing.
In fact, Australia 'stole' the Slouch Hat from the French (from the Musketeer days).

Every time Australia 'steals' from other nations - because they can't make something 'new' to offer the world instead.
I have no 'pride' in my convict past.
Would you take pride in a great uncle who was a Paedophile, murderer, etc?  Huh Roll Eyes


You ungrateful fu*#ing twerp. So what if the Gallipoli diggers were 1st or 2nd generation poms.

They died so you could enjoy the freedoms you have today like writing your bs here on an Internet forum.

None of us choose our ancestors..... and you comparing someone who may have only stolen a loaf of bread to stave off hunger to murderers or paedophiles is as weak as piss.

Have you got any pride as to being Australian and your forebears?

Get off the juice.


you mean MURDERED by the brits here dont you ...

sent like lambs to the slaughter .. you dont think the british

would let the colonials have Australia do you ? very foolish of some to believe ,

its called genocide .. and mugs like you keep the crime alive

some patriots would call you a disgrace

not me though

I do ..... so get stuffed.

but it was British Military high command ... not  tommy soldiers.

And ANZAC Day is to commemorate those ANZACS who fell,were wounded and those that returned whole or disabled,,,,

and for all those who have served in our ADF in consequent theatres of war who fell, were wounded, disabled and/or returned uninjured.

And for those currently serving OS.

You're just a virtue signaller.

Turks in Auburn once told me hard.
That the Turkish during Gallipoli had nothing to fear from the Australian/NZ'ers.
Although the Indians lost many in the Campaign as well, they were considered a higher foe to face than Anzacs.
To the Turks, the Anzacs were not militarily competent and morale in the Turkish lines was very high.
Anzacs were like children playing with guns for the first time, it was said.
An unorganised rabble of reluctant 'loyalists' to the British Empire. There was no flame of Allah (god) in them (religious  passion).
And then... "Little wonder they lost. They just had no historical military hardness. Many other nations could have either won or done better."
"Even at Beersheba, the Anzac win was a fluke. The fact that they had to resort to an 'old' method (horse charge), showed that they had nothing new and innovative to offer as Anzacs"

Jasin stop being a TNUC.

They died because they were sent to the wrong place & used as cannon fodder and they weren't alone.

The Turks were well dug in .......... after 8 months the Allies withdrew.

The Turks had 86,292 dead and 164,617 wounded a total of 251,309 casualties.

More than double the Allies. And the Turks won.

Allies - 44,150 dead
97,397 wounded
a total of 141,547 casualties.

Separately -

GB & Ireland - 21,255 dead,
52,230 wounded
Total casualties - 73,485

Australia - 8,709 dead,
19,441 wounded,
Total casualties - 28,150

France - 10,000 dead,
17,000 wounded
Total casualties - 27,000

New Zealand - 2,779 dead,
5,212 wounded
Total casualties - 7,991

India - 1,358 dead,
3,421 wounded
Total casualties - 4,779

Newfoundland - 49 dead
93 wounded
Total casualties - 142

So of the Allies the Poms had the greatest dead & wounded at Gallipoli.

Why can't you bastards show some respect for those who served,paid the ultimate sacrifice, were wounded or disabled(physically and mentally) as the day is meant to be?

instead of all your self righteous waffle.
