ANZAC Day

In Melbourne, thousands gather at the Shrine of Remembrance at dawn to recognize those who served in at Gallipoli, in WWII, Vietnam and more recent 20th and 21st century conflicts.
Anzac Day is commemorated by Australia and New Zealand on 25th of April every year to honour members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZACs) who fought at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War I. A View of the Shrine of Remembrance.
The ANZAC force landed at Gallipoli on 25 April, meeting fierce resistance from the Turkish defenders. What had been planned as a bold strike 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. Over 8,000 Australian and 2,700 New Zealand soldiers died.
