ANZAC

red& white colors, and flowers. The memorial only focuses on people who died but I think this should be the purpose of a memorial not patriotism or nationalistic ideas.

Hello, my name is George Alexander Robertson, and today will be talking to you about my life before, during and after Gallipoli. I was born on the 3rd of January 1897 in Tocumwal, New South Wales. I served with the first Australian imperial force and I fought in Gallipoli in World war one. I have won three awards for my services – 1914-15 star, British war medallion and the victory medallion. (Gould, 2010) I enlisted for many personal reason however there was a bit of a desperate hurry to get people

navy (British) had tried and failed to clear the straits and so on April 25th, British, French, Australian, and New Zealand troops landed along the east coast of the Gallipoli Peninsula, at North Beach, Cape Helles (British and French), and sadly, ANZAC Cove (Gallipoli Campaign, 2012).

2015 marks the 100th anniversary of Gallipoli where ANZAC Legends such as ‘Simpson and his donkey’ were born. These stories shed light on war but left the heart break of mothers and death of millions of soldiers in the dark. During World War 1 (WW1) about 42 million men in the Allied countries heeded the call of their country to show their patriotism and courage. After the long, harsh war the death of 5 million soldiers left families around the world without a son. WW1, ‘the war to end all wars’

when Frank and Archie were standing on a hill at sunset; listen to the anguished sounds of battle. Even more horrifying for Frank was witnessing Snowy on his deathbed naïvely saying, “I wonder why they aren’t giving me any food or drink?” When the Anzacs were in Egypt, they thought that the ‘Gypos’ were a bunch of thieves. The lecture one of the officers gave before the start of the exercises in Cairo probably didn’t do much for respect towards the Egyptians. I thought that it was amusing to see

WWI was an extremely important factor in Australia's history and it has affected everything since it happened. More specifically, the battle of Gallipoli has been made into one of the most significant battles in Australian history. However, the battle of the Somme does not get as much recognition as it deserves. The battle of the Somme is as significant and relevant as Gallipoli because Australian soldiers also participated in the battle, risking and losing their lives to protect what Australian

Astoundingly, 7 of the 9 Victoria Crosses were awarded during the Battle of Lone Pine, and the battle had succeeded its tactical objectives, despite the "hellish" conditions and the fact that over 2200 men died. Many commanders as well as the press in Australia perceived Lone Pine as "one of the greatest victories on the peninsula" and "a fine display of Australian gallantry" (Crawley, 2012). Bean rated it as one of the four great achievements of the AIF. He was right but so were the Turks when they

Gallipoli is a film directed by Peter Weir, that was released in 1981. It is based upon World War 1. Gallipoli follows two young Australian Sprinters who join the Army and it shows the naivety of the young Australian Men when they tried to enlist. It follows them through their training and into their battle on the frontline. In not knowing what the future will be, how do we know if something will be a lost cause. Therefore is it right to sacrifice your life for a lost cause. War was a time many men

Gallipoli was Australia’s first major fight as a new independent country and because of this it was a moment in time where Australians could prove their worth to the rest of the world. Despite the Gallipoli campaign being an embarrassing military defeat for allied troops, it would come to be remembered as the rising of Australia as a nation in its own right - with a unique identity and set of values. The efforts of the men and women who served on the front forged characteristics which would be passed

Gallipoli - The Anzac Legend The Anzac Legend is the source of the Aussie Fight and bravery that will live on for future generations to understand and to acknowledge their courage and bravery. Some would say The Anzac Legend all began when Britain declared they were in need of help and it was Australia’s duty to go to their aid. Australia tossed aside experience and opted for youth. There were big incentives to go. To travel and visit foreign places, economic reasons, to be with
