Anzac Stories

In 1914, as Europe bled, two nations made a radical choice: they chose to survive. Faced with an imperial mandate that would bankrupt their economies and slaughter their youth, Australia and New Zealand did the unthinkable. They seceded from the British Empire, dissolved their militaries, and declared absolute, permanent neutrality. Re-branded as the International Humanitarian Sanctuary (IHS), the continent transformed into a weapon-free zone dedicated entirely to human survival. But peace is never passive. To prove their mandate to a cynical world, the unarmed crews of the iconic "White Fleet" must navigate the deadliest eras of human history. From dodging rogue British battleships in category-five typhoons during WWI, to using brightly lit hospital ships as human shields against Japanese submarines in WWII, to running a high-stakes American naval blockade during the Cuban Missile Crisis-the IHS learns that remaining neutral requires a terrifying amount of courage.

This is a non-fiction story for people that need it to study

A sweet Poem about the life of an ANZAC soldier.

This is an anzac poem I wrote when I was 9 its pretty good though!

"These heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives.... You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore REST IN PEACE... ....You. The mothers, who sent their sons from faraway countries wipe away your tears.... After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well..." "The memory was alive, and through none of them would ever see the ANZAC beach again, the first great sacred spot in the history of Australia was the ANZAC beach and the heights above it..."

A school project I have worked on. These letters are not real and are made by me. These letters are based on a man by the name of Matthew Mckenzie, A young man that signs up to take part in World War 1. He later ends up being involved in one of the most least successful battles, Gallipoli, Turkey. *graphic content*

A young Anzac goes to fight for his in Gallipoli like many others. But will he live to tell the tale or die like his many comrades?

This is a story written in letter-form, between a soldier and his family. It's based on a real soldier in WW1, my great, great great uncle.

The wind ruffled my hair and blew the sea's salty smell into my nose. Excitement was still coursing through my veins. I took another deep breath, inhaling the smell of salt once again. It was nice to be out adventuring rather than being stuck on my little island back home. "Aren't you nervous Oz?" New Zealand asked. " What if something goes wrong." Lest we forget

My 2010 poetry collection. I started writing poetry in May this year and I've never really stopped after that. The poems here are in a way quite depressing, well some are. Some ask questions, some tell of love and friendship. But the poems here are my work and copyrighted. I'm extremely proud of my this collection which is ever growing. A must read I think is 'Emotions' which was one of the winners in the poetry contest held this year. If I could, I would recommend all of them for you to read but not everyone has the time to go through my work. So: Emotions Time Rain The Thread of Our Lives The Stars Thank you Thank you for your time, please leave a comment and vote! :D TIng

Hi! I'm just honouring all the brave soldiers who were so brave, we remember the Australian ( and other soldiers from other places)and Turkish soldiers, who both had tragic deaths. Rest their souls, and lest we forget

The empire demanded their blood. They chose their home. In the blood-soaked mud of 1916, the British Empire demands a devastating price from its distant colonies. But when the call for more ANZAC reinforcements reaches the Pacific, the thread snaps. Instead of compliance, the streets of Melbourne and Wellington explode into violent, anti-imperial riots. In a coordinated political coup, radical nationalist governments seize power, severing ties with the British Crown to forge a defiant new alliance: the United Commonwealth of Australia and the Republic of Aotearoa. Furious at the betrayal, the Royal Navy seals the borders with a brutal blockade, plunging the young nations into an agonizing war of survival. Returning soldiers face a shattering choice: uphold their oaths to a distant King, or defend the rugged shores of a newly independent homeland. To survive, the breakaway republics must form unprecedented alliances with indigenous leaders, rewriting the future of their land and striking a dangerous bargain with the Empire's enemies. From the desperate trenches of the Siege of Auckland to the clandestine nuclear labs of the Australian desert and the vibrant, decolonized cultural renaissance of the 1990s, the story charts an alternate century of defiance. Armed with an independent spirit, a proprietary digital frontier, and a nuclear deterrent, two nations stand completely unbowed-forever detached from the Crown, guarding the gateway to the Southern Hemisphere.

an ANZAC (Australia and New Zealand Army Corp for those who don't know) story .+. this is my entry in the Nan Mainfeild Young Writers Prize .+.

Baker Street is a simple street in Hillford, a country town in South Australia. Number 39 is a cottage, with a slate veranda with roses that creep up the posts and old fashioned window panes. It was built with sandstone bricks and love in 1888 but the original owners eventually decided it wasn't for them and the cottage was left to rot. On May 13th 1914, 20 year olds indigenous, and patriotic Australian Angus Shearer and Ackland inhabitant and proud New Zealander, Lucy Hamilton moved in to the abandoned house. Happy and ready to see where life took them. The two fell instantly in love with the simple old house and knew it was everything they needed. But with the world succumbing to war a few months later, their lives are torn apart by loss and heartache and eventually, 39 Baker Street is once again abandoned and left alone. 100 years later, on May 13 2014, 20 year olds, Indigenous shearer, Eli Shearer and Christ Church local Elouise Green drive through Hillford as an engaged couple and come across an overgrown house with a slate veranda and old fashioned window panes. The two fall instantly in love with the simple old house and get to work straight away. After making it their own, they decide to investigate. In the attic one day they come across a diary, the leather case coated in mud and a black and white photograph of a smiling couple, a soldier and his girl.
