Dawn ceremonies remember the dawn landing at Gallipoli during World War 1. Originally, they were simple and followed operational ritual and were for veterans only. Over the years, they have become more elaborate with families and young people begin encouraged to attend. Regarding why these ceremonies are held at dawn, this commemorates the fact that the initial landing of the ANZAC troops at Gallipoli occurred just before dawn. When this first wave of troops came ashore, many of them were shot as they waded ashore or when they first came onto the beach, and they never stood a chance.
