For New Zealand in the early 1900's the loss of 5,000 men (approx) was a big loss. Many people alive today lost their grandfather or some relative in the battle at Gallipoli.
The Canakkale or Dardanelles and Gelibolu or Gallipoli Battle Zones are still on the tentative list yet. The tentative list refers to the state party inventory of properties to be considered for nomination to be added toÊthe Worlds Heritage list.
ANZAC Day is commemorated by Australians and New Zealanders on 25 April because that is the anniversary of the day in 1915 when the troops landed at Gallipoli on the Turkish Aegean coast. ANZAC day is still commemorated today to honour the sacrifice of the thousands of brave men who died at Gallipoli during the eight-month campaign. Out of respect for those men, Australians pause for a minute's silence and many attend commemorative services. ANZAC Day has also become a day to remember all the servicemen who have been killed during active service in subsequent wars.
Because it was the bloodiest day in the whole Civil War. (More than 20,000 people died that day)
April 25 is ANZAC Day, which marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War. It was the first time that Australians had fought as a nation since Federation of the states.
I have no idea what the Australians did, but I know that the New Zealanders split into two forces. The cavalry and mounted divisions fought out the remainder of the war in the Sinai-Palestine deserts, still against the Turks. And the others went on to train in England and then to France where they fought mainly around the Somme in France in 1916 and 1918, and in Ypres, Belgium, in 1917.
They left their machine guns at the ready, and to the enemy it looked like they were still there. They muffled their boots, and left as silently as possible
'''People still remember him because he is known for giving America its name.'''
The Conditions in Gallipoli were very rough and unfair. The Turks outnumbered the ANZACs and were on higher ground. They surrounded the ANZAC soldiers making there no where to hide. Even if you were behind a bush or rock you would still get shot dead. Many of the ANZAC soldiers were also inexperienced.
but im still remember my password
Becuase the majority of New Zealanders have British Heritage of one form or another and immigrants brought there festivals and celebrations with them to the new world.
The Battle Tower is still there at the fight area but now it is the battle froniter
