I think about 10,000 or 12,000 served on/near the Peninsula. 2721 died, over 8,000 were wounded.
anzac day
Australians and New Zealanders from all walks of life commemorate ANZAC Day.
Anzac Cove, Gallipoli Peninsula.
They commemorate ANZAC day because it was not only Australians that fought in the Gallipoli campaign, but New Zealanders as well. Otherwise they would be called AAC Day because the NZ in the middle (surprise, surprise) stands for New Zealand
They are not. The New Zealanders were an important part of the campaign, and their presence is certainly acknowledged in Australian commemorations of ANZAC Day.
5200
About 10,000. 2721 were killed. 8000 were wounded.
Slightly over 2700. I've seen many sources state different figures, but the most common one seems to be 2721 killed and about 8000 wounded.
The New Zealanders went to war in hope of seeing the world and serving the British coleney Hope this helps....
8709 Australians and 2701 New Zealanders died in the battle at Gallipoli. 17924 Australians and 4852 New Zealanders were wounded in the battle at Gallipoli. Thats a total of 26, 663 Australian casualties, A total of 7553 New Zealand casualties. A grand total of 34, 216 Anzac casualties.
It is impossible to predict the future. However, it is hoped that Australians and New Zealanders will continue to honour the brave people in the defence forces for ever, and this would most likely continue with the ANZAC Day commemorations.
There were 8,556 New Zealanders who landed at Gallipoli landed. This took place during World War I. The first 3,100 Australian troops landed in Gallipoli on April 25, 1915.
