	The Anzac Day Tradition [Australian War Memorial]
		News of the landing at Gallipoli made a profound impact on Australians at home and 25 April quickly became the day on which Australians remembered the sacrifice of those who had died in war.
		The date, 25 April, was officially named ANZAC Day in 1916; in that year it was marked by a wide variety of ceremonies and services in Australia, a march through London, and a sports day in the Australian camp in Egypt.
		ANZAC Day was first commemorated at the Australian War Memorial in 1942, but due to government orders preventing large public gatherings in case of Japanese air attack, it was a small affair and was neither a march nor a memorial service.

	Gallipoli - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
		In Australia, New Zealand and Newfoundland, Gallipoli is the name given to the Allied Campaign on the peninsula during World War I, usually known in Britain as the Dardanelles Campaign and in Turkey as the Battle of Çanakkale.
		On April 25, 1915 as part of an allied force of British and French troops the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) landed at a small bay at the western end of the Peninsula (today officially called Anzac Cove).
		The campaign ended in stalemate with the Anzacs being evacuated on December 19, 1915 and the other elements of the invasion force a little later.

	Royal Australian Navy Gun Plot - ANZAC DAY Diggers at Gallipoli, Turkey
		The water was churned and whipped into foam by the hail of bullets, and many of the invaders died in the boats or in the water before their feet grated on the shore.
		Although eight thousand Australians were ashore by 7.30 a.m., and the whole twelve thousand infantry of the 1st Australian Division by early afternoon, the withering hail of Turkish shrapnel that descended upon them pinned them down to the beach and a small area on top of the cliff where the first Anzacs had dug in.
		The Anzacs were then in a clearly defined triangle, with its base on the sea and its apex Quinn’s Post on the slopes of the ridge known as Sari Bair, about a thousand yards from the shore.

	ANZAC officers died at Gallipoli: Frequently Asked Questions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
		Australians and New Zealanders pride themselves on giving everyone a 'fair go', but when it comes to Gallipoli, there has been so much misinformation taught that many people seem unwilling to even admit that other forces were present and become almost resentful when this is pointed out.
		It had been assumed by the Anzacs, from the severity of wounds inflicted upon them by rifle and machine-gun fire, (and this belief appears time and again in their letters written before this date), that the Turks had been using 'dum-dum', or 'explosive' bullets.
		During the Armistice the Anzacs saw for the first time that their own bullets caused exactly the same kinds of wounds, and they realised then that this was what happened when modern bullets hit a human body at close range.

	"Birdie" The "Pommie" General the troops liked
		In November 1914 Kitchener, as Secretary of State for War, appointed Birdwood to command the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps in November 1914; becoming a full general in 1917, he continued in the role until May 1918, when he was made commander of the British Fifth Army.
		Birdwood was the only corps commander to oppose the evacuation of Gallipoli, although the operation was becoming extremely difficult tactically and was losing its value strategically.
		After he retired from the Army in 1930, he hoped to become Governor General of Australia, but despite the wishes of the King, the Scullin government insisted on appointing an Australian to the post instead.

		The ANZACs comprised the 1st Australian Division and the composite New Zealand and Australian Division.
		While political leaders argued, the Australian and New Zealand soldiers died in battle, from sniper fire and shelling, and those that lived suffered from a range of ailments due to their dreadful living conditions - typhus, lice, gangrene, lack of fresh water, poor quality food, and poor sanitary conditions all took their toll.
		The Australian War Memorial website has a section dedicated to the tradition of Anzac Day which explains its cultural importance to Australians and the rituals which surround commemoration services such as wreath laying, sounding of the Last Post and the observance of one minute's silence.
