Where did the name ANZAC originate?

It is not known exactly how and where the name ANZAC (Australia and New Zealand Army Corps) originated, but there are several theories. According to the Australian War Memorial site, one of the earliest times 'ANZAC' was used was in a book of sketches by Signaller Ellis Silas, who served with the AIF at ANZAC Cove, and in the book's foreword by Sir Ian Hamilton. Hamilton attributed the first use of the word to himself, needing a convenient acronym for signalling via the telegraph for security purposes. Another to whom the acronym is attributed is General Sir W R Birdwood who needed to choose a telegraphic code when he took over the command of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps in Egypt. He is said to have selected 'ANZAC'. A completely different story is told by Australian war historian C E W Bean. Bean's research uncovered the information that a clerk, Lt A.T. White RASC of the British Regular Army, suggested 'ANZAC' when a codename for the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps was needed by Major C M Wagstaff of the "operations" section of General Birdwood's staff.
