ANZAC Cove, Gallipoli, Turkey.
Very interesting to research the sea battle as well as the land battle. BTW, if you're in Australia and hear the song, "And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda" which refers to the carnage of that campaign, stand and remain quiet in respect. Check out that song. Joan Baez version very good.
it was fought on the peninsula of turkey, gallipolli.
The Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (popularly abbreviated as ANZAC) were Australian and New Zealand troops who fought in the Gallipoli Campaign in 1915.
The Gallipolli campaign lasted for 8 months, 2 weeks and a day. It was fought on 25 April 1915 - 9 January 1916.
it stands for the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.
ANZAC Day takes place all throughout New Zealand. It is a commemoration of the Australian and New Zealand troops who fought together during the wars- both those whose died in the war and those who survived. It is a celebration of the close ties we have with each other. Meaning is Australia/New Zealand/Army/Corps.Each town has their own celebration starting with the dawn services. I would say that wherever there are large numbers of Aussies and New Zealanders they probably celebrate ANZAC day It is also celebrated at Gallipolli , where a major battle was fought involving the ANZAC troops.

The ANZAC legend and spirit is mainly associated with the soldiers of Australia and New Zealand who fought in Gallipoli. However this now extends to the Turks who fought valliantly to protect their homeland from the invaders. It is in effect, a means to commemorate past sacrifices made by men who gave their lives, a means to rally the nation and more sinisterly, a way to glorify war. It is not usually used in reference to the Australian population, and should be a term reserved specifically for the soldiers of Gallipolli.
Military training was needed for fighting in Gallipoli. The campaign was fought on land, by sea, and in the air. The result was a victory for Ottoman.
Anzac Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand, and is commemorated by both countries on 25 April every year to honour members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who fought at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War I.
