The reason why ANZAC Day ceremonies are held at dawn is because the first ANZAC troops arrived in Gallipoli just before dawn - at 4:28am. Having the service at dawn honours those who were killed in the first onslaught as they arrived in the transport ships. It is a mark of respect.

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.

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.
