The ANZACS went to Cairo on December 4th, 1914 so they could train and prepare for what was ahead in Gallipoli.
It was summer in the time the Anzacs were on the Gallipoli Peninsula, so the weather was hot and dry. There was lack of water. They ate mostly bully beef, Ticklers jam and hard tack. Their food was sometimes supplemented by parcels sent from home.
It is not known how many Australian troops were involved in the landings at Gallipoli. However, the entire Gallipoli campaign resulted in 26,111 Australian casualties, and this included between 8,150 and 8,500 deaths. The total number of Allied troops who took part in the Gallipoli campaign was about 480,000, but this included Australians, New Zealanders, British and French.

There was no "Gallipoli War". People did not enlist in a "Gallipoli war": they enlisted in the Australian Army,which sent troops to Gallipoli, one of many campaigns undertaken during World War 1. The enlistment age for the Australian Army was 21 years. With the permission of a parent or guardian, it was age 18. Many younger boys lied about their age in order to join up. There were many 16 year olds who joined the army under false pretences, and there were even known to be some 14 year olds.
Lots of places, troops are sent to any area with war. (ex: today troops are sent to mainly the middle east like Iran, Syria, Iraq, ect.)
