Anzac day

Did you know that Anzac stands for
Australia
New
Zealand
Army
Corps

Men fought and died each day. The first world war started
in 1914. In Australia they had been under control of the
British empire for a long 13 years and New Zealand for
7 years. In 1915 Australia and New Zealand became
witnesses to the new army of volunteer soldiers. The Anzacs
landed in Germany April 25th but defenders were all ready to
attack. Soldiers knew they had no chance of winning but tried
anyway for 8 more months. They fought for their country
even if it may have meant death. The amount of blood on the
ground was horrendous. More than 8000 deaths. At the end
of 1915 marked the end of the war and great leadership to
the many who died. The rest of the Anzacs were evacuated by
the British. They made April 25th a day to remember forever.
Australia and New Zealand hold special events every passing
year on April 25th. The Anzacs were legends giving their lives
in Gollipapy (turkey).
