Before sunrise, on the morning of April 25th, 1915, the Australian New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) invaded the Gallipioly peninsular in Turkey. But, they landed in the wrong spot, on a Beach now known as ANZAC cove. this beach had no cover, and was surrounded by cliffs, and Turkish soilders (no offence Armagan, and anyone else who is Turkish)) Despite this, the ANZAC soilders rushed to the cliffs, and started to scale them. The fighting was feirce, and only three trenches were taken on the first day, but because of a lack of re-enforcemants, the third one had to be abandonded. On the first day, 6000 out of the 30000 troops were killed.
This ultimatly futile battle for the Gallipioly Peninsular had many more great and bloody battles, such as lone pine, where ANZAC troops rushed the Turkish trenches, and engaged in feirce close quaters fighting for many hours. But despite this, after eight months of fighting, the troops were withdrawn from peninsular.
ANZAC's also fought many battles on the Western front, such as Amiens, Passendale, and the Battle of the Somme. In all these battle, ANZAC's fought bravely, and were highly regarded by both Allied and Enemy troops and commanders.
Of course, there is no residual hostility between the Turkey and AUstralia, bacause, we were both fighting for another country, Germany and Britian. During the stalemate in the trenches, the Australians and Turks would often talk to eachother, exchange meals, and call a ceasefire to collect their dead.
ANZAC day comemerates this sacrifice by the troops to fight for the freedom of us, and on this day we will rember them
