Anzac DayAnzac Day is celebrated in Australia and New Zealand on the 25th

of April every year. It is the anniversary of the day Australian and New Zealand troops landed in Gallipoli.

ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.This was the name given to the troops that fought in Gallipoli in

World War I.

The ANZAC troops first landed in Turkey, on the beaches of the Gallipoli Peninsula on the 25th April 1915. The Peninsula is now known as ANZAC Cove. They landed there to battle the Turkish army in World War I.

Their objective was to capture Constantinople, (now known as Istanbul) the capital of the Ottoman Empire which was an ally of Germany. This was so the British forces and their allies could take control of the Dardanelles Strait.

Due to lack of planning, this was disastrous. During the eight month campaign, both Australia and New Zealand suffered huge losses at Gallipoli and the troops were withdrawn on the 19th and 20th of December 1915. 8,709 Australian soldiers had been killed.

The 25th of April was officially named ANZAC Day in 1916. It was marked by a variety of ceremonies in Australia and a march through London.During the 1920’s, ANZAC Day became established as a national day of commemoration for the Australians who lost their lives during the war.

The first official dawn service was held in Sydney in 1927. This was the first year, every state observed some form of public holiday on ANZAC day. The origin of the dawn service comes from the ‘stand-to’ routine which is followed by the Australian Army. One of the best times for an attack are at dawn. Soldiers in defensive positions were woken just before dawn when it was still dark, so that by the time the first light crept across the battlefield, they were awake and alert and ready. This routine is also repeated at sunset as that is another favourable time for attack.

At the dawn services today the ‘stand-to’ is followed by a minute of silence and then the sound of a lone bugler who plays the ‘Last Post’.The ‘Last Post’ was used as a last warning to any soldiers still at large that it was time to retire for the evening. When played during funerals and memorial services it symbolises that the duty of the dead is over and they can rest in peace.

The Red Poppy

The red poppy was one of the first living plants to sprout in the battlefields of France and Belgium during the First World War.

Stories were told about the bright red of the poppy being due to being nurtured in ground drenched in blood from fallen soldiers.Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, a Canadian, was so moved by the sight of the poppies, he wrote a poem called “In Flanders Fields.”

During World War I, the poppy became a symbol of sacrifice and soon became widely accepted as the flower of remembrance in the allied nations.

Jack Simpson Kirkpatrick became famous among the Australia soldiers at Gallipoli because of their bravery. His job was employed in the Army as a field ambulance stretcher bearer, though he worked with donkeys before joining the Army.

By mid-morning on the 26th April, stretchers had become scarce. They were being used to carry the wounded to the ships, but were being left there, not returning to pick up more injured soldiers.

Jack was doing his job, carrying casualties to the beach when he noticed a donkey grazing near by. Jack, was able to put injured soldiers on the back of his new donkey friend that he named Duffy, and lead them down to the beach to safety. Day after day, week after week, Jack and Duffy would make their way through the hills and valleys helping soldiers. With Duffy, Jack was able to make between 12 and 15 trips a day, saving the lives of many soldiers.

One day, Duffy came down to the beach with a soldier on his back, but without Simpson. Even though Simpson had been killed, the donkey knew he was to take the injured man to safety.
