anzacs
they were given
There was no such thing as an "ANZAC war". Anzac was the acronym given to the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps during World War One. They fought at Gallipoli in the Ottoman Empire (now called Turkey) from April of 1915 to December of 1915 and January of 1916.
The Rats of Tobruk was the name given to the Australian soldiers defending the port of Tobruk, in Libya. The soldiers dug extensive trenches and tunnels for defensive and offensive movement, leading to their nickname. They fought off a siege of the Afrika Corps for almost 8 full months.
No. the Statue of Liberty was given to the US by the Nation of France. The statue was dedicated in 1886.
Often called "diggers", their units were more politly called ANZAC.
A.N.Z.A.C. which is the first letters of the name
ANZAC's fought courageous battles together in defending the mother land 'Great Britain' and also proving to the rest of the known world that they were strong countries. Because this was there first war in which they would play a major role. The New Zealand most famous battle was the one at Gallipoli. The ANZAC's landed in Gallipoli on the 25th of April 1915 and they fought against the Turkish. Even though they did end up running away because they realized that propaganda had given them hope that they could win they war, which at that point seemed impossible. Both countries united showed great patriticism
During World War I, as in so many other wars, soldiers from both sides were given nicknames of all sorts. The American soldiers who went 'over there' to fight were no exception, receiving nicknames such as 'doughboys' and 'Yanks,' among many others.
The Rough Riders was a nickname given to the 1st United States Volunteer Cavalry
Remembrance Day honours all the soldiers and defence personnel who have fought in wars or in defence of a country's freedom. In particular, we remember the fallen soldiers, those who have given their lives while fighting.
What reasons are given for the uniformity of Australian speech?
Australia was considered 'downunder' by American troops......so th aussies were oftenreferred to as 'diggers'.........................
