Best Answer

Australian New Zealand Association Corps fought in WW1 because they were part of the British Empire and Commonwealth. Since Britain was at war with the Turks, the Australians and New Zealanders felt the duty to honor their obligation to the Empire. As for the Turks specifically, opposed to say the Austro-Hungarians, Bulgarians, or Germans, that was decided by British Command.
