How many New Zealand soldiers were killed on Turkish soil?
We don't really know exactly how many soldiers died in Turkey during the Gallipoli Campaign 1915 because of the nature of this bloody battle. When they were excavating a part of the Gallipoli are in order to build this controversial new road in Gallipoli a few years ago, they unearthed yet more bones. Official figures though indicates that 2431 New Zealand soldiers lost their lives out of 7571 total New Zealand casualties.
Why has the war in Gallipoli become linked to ANZAC Day?
The battle for Gallipoli was a terrible example of a commander fighting the last war instead of the present one. It is also a case of absolutely terrible communication between the battle lines and the commander. ANZACs were New Zealand troups that were involved in WWI on the British side. While there is an interesting history of how it happened, that isn't the answer to the question. At Gallipoli, the majority of the British troups were ANZACs. Due to the above, most of them died in battle or subsequently, either from wounds or the "tender, loving care" they received from their Turkish captors. Gallipoli was a national tragedy for New Zealand because of the high casualties and the concentration of ANZAC troups in the battle. New Zealand has chosen to remember this tragedy with a national day of remembrance, ANZAC Day.

When was the first Anzac Day celebrated in New Zealand?

Why do people march on ANZAC Day?
Members of the armed forces and relatives representing them march on ANZAC Day to honour those who have died in war. ANZAC Day is a day to remember all our armed forces. The day originated in memory of the Australian and New Zealand soldiers who landed at Gallipoli on the 25th of April, 1915. The day commemorates the bravery and sacrifice of the thousands of men who died during the eight-month occupation of Gallipoli. This particular campaign was the first opportunity for Australian troops to fight under the flag of Australia, as it was the first major battle since Federation. Subsequently, ANZAC Day has become a day of remembrance for all Australian and New Zealand soldiers who gave their lives in all wars. In Australia and New Zealand, ANZAC Day commemorations feature solemn "dawn services", a tradition started in Albany, Western Australia on 25 April 1923. These services are held at war memorials around both countries. Marches by veterans and family members of those who have died in past wars are held in capital cities and towns nationwide, as Australians and New Zealanders honour our brave Defence Force personnel.

How do you become an anzac?
You cannot. ANZAC stands for Australian & New Zealand Army Corps. It was created in 1914 when both countries accepted the call to arms from Britain. It was disbanded shortly after the disastorous Gallipoli Campaign. The New Zealanders became the New Zealand Expeditionary Force (NZEF) and the Australians became the Australian Infantry Force (AIF). However there are records of an I Anzac and II Anzac serving in the battle of Broodseinde (made from three Australian and one New Zealand division). After the war both countries retained separate military forces. There are no more Anzacs left, the last survivor of Gallipoli died in 2002, if memory serves me correctly.
