Corps

For Australians and New Zealanders, ANZAC stands for courage, loyalty and mateship; it stands for fighting for one's freedom and the freedom of one's fellow countrymen; it stands for resilience and persistence under the most horrible and hopeless of fighting conditions.

Anzac is an acronym for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. It was coined during the Gallipoli campaign in 1915 when Australian and New Zealand army divisions formed into a formation called a corps.

When the divisions were transferred to the Western Front in 1916, two Anzac Corps were formed - I Anzac Corps and II Anzac Corps, however the eventual five Australian and one New Zealand divisions were shifted between those corps and other ones as the battle requirements dictated and the two Anzac Corps often had British divisions in them as well, and Australian divisions in British corps. So by 1918 the five Australian divisions were concentrated into an Australian corps, the two Anzac corps disbanded, and the New Zealand division allotted to a British corps.

An Anzac Corps was formed in 1941 for the defence of Greece, comprising 6 Australian Division and 2 NZ Division. As Greece fell quickly, the Corps was evacuated and ceased to exist.

The name has since been expanded to mean Australian and New Zealand soldiers and sometimes units. For example in Vietnam, one of the Australian battalions always had two NZ companies in it wand had the suffix (Anzac) added to its name.

For the soldiers, the original participants at Gallipoli were subseqently called Anzacs. This in later years has often been used to describe all soldiers of the two countries where this is a useful descriptor. Since 1916 ceremonies have been held on 25 April each year to commemorate the landing at Gallipoli (the beach was later named Anzac Cove). This ceremony has been extended to cover all soldiers who died from both countries in all subsequent wars.

anzac means Australia NEWZLAND ARMY COPS

which happened in 1915.

Actually it's Australia New Zealand Army Corps. The corps was formed in 1915 and fought in the battle of Gallipoli in 1915-16.

But the question is 'what does ANZAC mean to you?'

To me it doesn't mean much, I don't know if any of my relatives fought in that battle. It just seems a waste of lives to send men over to the other side of the world to fight each other. Not much has been learned since the World Wars countries still fight and people die.

ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, a World War I army corps of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force. ANZAC tends to refer specifically to those troops from Australia and New Zealand who landed at Gallipoli in 1915 and fought a campaign against Turkish troops that lasted about 8 months.
