	The ANZAC Acronym [Australian War Memorial]
		ANZAC is the acronym formed from the initial letters of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, the formation into which Australian and New Zealand soldiers were grouped in Egypt prior to the landing at Gallipoli in April 1915.
		These formations, I ANZAC Corps comprising three Australian divisions and II ANZAC Corps made up of the 4th and 5th Australian divisions and the New Zealand Division, were transferred to France and fought on the Western Front until 1917, when the five Australian formations were grouped into a single Australian Corps.
		In the Second World War, a new ANZAC was formed during the short Greek campaign of April 1941 when the 6th Australian Division and the New Zealand Division were joined under command of the headquarters of I Australian Corps (redesignated as ANZAC Corps).

		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.
