The initial wave of troops landed in Gallipoli shortly after 4am, which was just before dawn, on 25 April 1915. This is why dawn services are held on ANZAC Day around the country.

Why do you commemorate ANZAC Day on 25th April each year?

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.
