After months of fierce fighting and beset by disease and appalling living conditions, men of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) were evacuated from Gallipoli in December 1915 in brilliantly executed manoeuvers over serval nights. Australia had suffered 26,000 casualties, including 8,000 dead. While the Gallipoli campaign was a costly military failure, the exceptional courage, endurance of the ANZAC legend that forms an essential part of our national identity. Even today, Australians invoke the ANZAC spirit when faced with hardship or danger.
April 25 was officially named ANZAC Day in 1916. It is marked by ceremonies around Australia and at sites of the great battles of Europe and Gallipoli.
