There was no war on ANZAC Day. ANZAC Day commemorates Australian soldiers in all conflicts, but usually World War I. The main battleground commemorated is Gallipoli, where ANZAC (Australian New Zealand Army Corps) troops were defeated by the Turks but fought bravely despite bad organisation from the higher-ups.
ANZAC Day specifically commemorates the landing of the ANZAC troops at Gallipoli in 1915. It has also come to also commemorate all those in the defence forces who have lost their lives due to war.

There was never an Anzac War. The Anzacs took part in what was known as the Gallipoli Campaign, a collection of battles that took place on the Gallipoli Peninsula from April 25th of 1915 to late December 1915/early January 1916. The campaign ended when the Allied troops (including the Anzacs) were withdrawn. In other words, they retreated.
ANZAC biscuits are part of the ANZAC tradition, although they are by no means limited to just ANZAC Day. They are quite a favourite biscuit in Australia. The ANZAC biscuits were so named because they were made by the women at home and sold to buy small necessities and luxuries for the ANZAC(Australia and New Zealand Army Corps) troops in World War I. These little "comforts of home" included things like soap, toothpaste, pencils, books and lollies. The ANZAC biscuits were also sent to the troops because, being flat and made with oats and syrup, they travelled well and lasted longer, unlike standard cakes and biscuits. Originally the biscuits were called "soldiers' biscuits", and only gained the name "ANZAC biscuits" towards the end of the war, long after the unsuccessful Gallipoli campaign. It was an expression of patriotic pride in the Australian and New Zealand troops serving overseas.
There was no such thing as the "ANZAC war". It was part of World War One and called the Gallipoli Campaign. Technically the British did when they landed troops at Gallipoli.
ANZAC Day commemorates the day, on 25 April 1915, when the ANZAC troops landed at Gallipoli.
No. ANZAC stands for Australia and New Zealand Army Corps. The ANZAC forces were not formed until the beginning of World War I - almost 130 years after the American War of Independence.
The ANZAC troops landed in Gallipoli.
he was a stretcher bearer and his job is to go and get wounded troops to saftey.
ANZAC Day is not a celebration, it is a commemoration and remembrance of the sacrifice made by others on our behalf. ANZAC Day is on the 25th of April and commemorates the landing of ANZAC troops at Gallipoli during World War 1. ANZAC stands for "Australia and New Zealand Army Corps" and it is a connection we will have with the Kiwis forever.
