The ANZACs, short for the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, formed a crucial part of the Allied forces during World War I. Emerging in 1914, these troops from Australia and New Zealand are most renowned for their involvement in the Gallipoli Campaign of 1915. This military operation aimed to capture the Gallipoli Peninsula to secure a route to Constantinople, but ultimately led to a protracted and bloody stalemate against Ottoman forces. Despite the campaign’s failure, the bravery and resilience shown by the ANZACs at Gallipoli forged a lasting legacy, shaping national identities in both countries. April 25th, the date of their landing at Gallipoli, is commemorated annually as ANZAC Day-a day of remembrance for those who served and sacrificed in all conflicts. This remembrance is a deep reflection of the "ANZAC spirit," characterized by bravery, mateship, and the enduring values of loyalty and sacrifice.
