April 25 is known as ANZAC Day in both New Zealand and Australia because it was on this date in 1915 that the ANZAC troops (Australia and New Zealand Army Corps) landed at Gallipoli in one of the most ignominious campaigns of World War I. Both countries commemorate the heroic men who fell and those who also survived this most bitter campaign.
