Anzac
Day - 25 April - is probably Australia's most important national
occasion. It marks the anniversary of the first major military
action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the
First World War. ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army
Corps. The soldiers in those forces quickly became known as Anzacs,
and the pride they soon took in that name endures to this day.
What
does it mean today?
Australians
recognise 25 April as an occasion of nati in marches through the
major cities anhe time of the original landing, across the nation.
Later in the day ex-servicemen and women med many smaller centres.
Commemorative ceremonies are held at war memorials around the
country. It is a day when Australians reflect on the many different
meanings of war.
Why
is this day so special to Australians?
When war broke
out in 1914 Australia had been a federal commonwealth for only
13 years. The new national government was eager to establish its
reputation among the nations of the world. In 1915 Australian
and New Zealand soldiers formed part of the allied expedition
that set out to capture the Gallipoli peninsula to open the way
to the Black Sea for the allied navies.
The plan was
to capture Constantinople (now Istanbul), capital of the Ottoman
Empire and an ally of Germany. They landed at Gallipoli on April
25, meeting fierce resistance from the Turkish defenders. What
had been planned as a bold stroke to knock Turkey out of the war
quickly became a stalemate, and the campaign dragged on for eight
months. At the end of 1915 the allied forces were evacuated after
both sides had suffered heavy casualties and endured great hardships.
News of the landing at Gallipoli made a profound impact on Australians
at home and April 25 quickly became the day on which Australians
remembered the sacrifice of those who had died in war.
