  • ANZAC is an abbreviation for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.
  • ANZACs were all volunteers.
  • AIF is an abbreviation for Australian Imperial Force.
  • April 25, Anzac Day, was the day the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps landed on the Gallipoli Peninsula in 1915.
  • The first official dawn service on an ANZAC Day was in 1927 at the Sydney Cenotaph.
  • The ANZACS were on the Gallipoli Peninsula for only 8 months, where around 8,000 of them died.
  • There is no town called "Gallipoli". It is the name of an area. Visitors to Gallipoli usually stay at nearby towns - like Ecubeat.
  • The date, 25 April, was officially named ANZAC Day in 1916.
  • ANZAC Day was not a public holiday in New Zealand until 1921
  • ANZAC Day was not a public holiday in Australia until 1921. However it was not observed uniformly in all the states.
