Presuming you meant the Gallipoli landings, it was very praiseworthy. We kept fighting on, in the face of death, and would never leave a mate behind, or give up. Ever heard the story of John Simpson and his donkey? John found a donkey, and for over three weeks, he and his donkey would save lives, fearlessly and continuosly until one day, Simpson was shot through the heart. An ANZAC hero.
There was no ANZAC campaign. Presuming that "ANZAC campaign" refers to the Gallipoli campaign, where the ANZAC legend was born, this occurred in 1915. To be precise, the Gallipoli campaign began in the early hours of 25 April 1915, and continued for around eight months.
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 The campaign ended when the Allied troops (including the Anzacs) were withdrawn.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.
at this time our government was much the same as our government with the anzac legend, the kokoda trail campaign was much like the anzac legend just about the same number of people died and we honour them god bless the soldiers that fought in WWII
Usually when the Anzac story is mentioned, it is referring to the Gallipoli campaign which occurred in 1915 until January 1916.
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.
The initial reason for the ANZAC remembrance was the landing of the ANZAC troops at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915. 744 men were killed on the first day, and about 620 of them were Australian. Over the ensuing months, many more were killed, but this was not a single battle - it was a long, protracted campaign, the Campaign of Gallipoli.
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.
The Gallipoli Campaign .

ANZAC was a phrase used to describe units from Australia and new Zealand, it originated in World War one, specifically during the Gallipoli campaign.

Neither. ANZAC stands for Australia and New Zealand Army Corps, and refers to the soldiers who fought the Gallipoli campaign, and other campaigns, in World War I.
