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.
