	ANZAC Spirit
		From 1915 the word was applied to military formations (there were ANZAC corps in both world wars); to places (notably “ANZAC area” on Gallipoli and “ANZAC Cove” itself); to people (“ANZAC” at first meant a man who had served on Gallipoli, and later acquired broader applications).
		It refers to the representation of Australians in war, the way in which they think, speak and write of their war experience (which is not always the same thing as how they experienced it).
		ANZAC came to signify the qualities which Australians have seen their forces exhibit in war.

	The ANZAC Spirit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		ANZAC, a single word so powerful in the Australian vocabulary that it can bring a tear to the eye, a lump in the throat and a feeling of pride, just to be an Australian.
		The ANZAC tradition began on the 25th of April 1915 on the shores of Gallipoli in Turkey.
		It could also be said that the same spirit was carried on through the decades to come and that the calibre of the first ANZAC's set the standard for all Australian servicemn in their subsequent war efforts, in World War II, Korea and in Vietnam.

	ANZAC spirit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The ANZAC Spirit is a component of Australasian mythology.
		While the landing at Anzac Cove is often described as the moment of birth of Australia's nationhood, this myth is often contested.
		Following Australia's self-defence during the Second World War, the Australian myth of the ANZAC spirit was transformed by conceptions of heroic suffering, particularly in the battlefields of Papua New Guinea and in Japanese controlled POW camps.

	Anzac Day - NZHistory.net.nz
		Anzac Day in New Zealand is held on 25 April each year to commemorate New Zealanders killed in war and to honour returned servicemen and women.
		Calls to liberalise Anzac Day, unthinkable in the early 1950s, became increasing vocal, given impetus by the apparent double standard of returned servicemen and women enjoying their traditional Anzac Day 'booze up' while the general public was denied access to entertainment in hotels or cinemas.
		Increasingly Anzac Day was regarded as an appropriate day on which to debate defence and war related issues — ex-servicemen and politicians used such platforms to speak out on anti-nuclear policy during the 1980s.

	Anzac officers died at Gallipoli FAQ - Extra
		The Anzac spirit is the Australian spirit, a spirit that founded a nation and opened it up by daring exploration, developed it and protected it.
		Anzac symbolizes all that is best in the human character and all that is best in those of us who are proud to call ourselves Australians.
		I think, simply put, the spirit of Anzac is the ideal of cheerfulness and steadfastness in the face of great odds; of standing by a mate even to the point of self-sacrifice; of being reliable and true to your word and doing your share, and of maintaining the will to go on, whatever the cost.

	FOCUS on ANZACS and Gallipoli Battle
		The spirit of the defenders were so high even an allied army of many nations could not break this defense.
		Elaborate plans to celebrate Anzac Day together were disrupted by a major Chinese offensive in which the 3rd Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment, was awarded the US Presidential Citation for their defense of the village of Kapyong on the night 42 years ago.
		It is one of the many ironies of the Gallipoli campaign that the advance of the Anzacs on the day of the landing was opposed by one of the most dynamic military and political leaders of this century, colonel Mustafa Kemal, later to be immortalized as Kemal Ataturk, the "Father of the Turks".

		Anzac Day, April 25th, is a day that is very dear to the heart of all Australians, a day when we remember those that have fallen in times of war, in service to their country, its people, and freedom for mankind.
		Anzac day is held in both Australia and New Zealand on the anniversary of the first major offensive to use ANZAC troops on the shores of Gallipoli in Turkey in 1915.

	The Epoch Times \| The Spirit of ANZAC
		The spirit behind ANZAC Day began 90 years ago at 4.30 am when the soldiers of the Australian and New Zealand Corps (ANZAC) landed on the shore of a Turkish beach that would become later known as ANZAC Cove on April 25.
		The 19-20 December ANZAC withdrawal from the peninsula proved to be the most successful operation of the campaign; 80,000 men soldiers, 5000 horses and 200 artillery pieces were evacuated from ANZAC with minimal losses with the Turks unaware that they were leaving.
		But importantly, the ideals behind the ANZAC legend are not based on the idea of a military victory or a defeat, in the words of historian John Robertson, “the creators of the ANZAC legend were, of course, the men themselves.” It was the conduct and character of the troops that would create the legend.
