During the Gallipoli Campaign in World War I, Australia contributed eight infantry battalions. These battalions were part of the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) and played significant roles in various landings and battles throughout the campaign, which lasted from April 1915 to January 1916. The campaign had a profound impact on Australian national identity and is commemorated annually on ANZAC Day.
