In 1914, the Australian Imperial
Force (AIF) and the New Zealand Expeditionary Force
(NZEF) were joined to create the Australian and New
Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC). Originally to be sent to
join the fight against Germany in France, they were
diverted to Egypt for training after Turkey entered
the war.
After the Royal Navy failed to breach the Turkish defences
at the Dardanelles, a British plan was hastily cobbled
together to launch a series of landings on the Gallipoli
Peninsula. British and French troops were to land at
Cape Helles and the ANZACs on the western side at Gaba
Tepe.
Unfortunately, the ANZACs were landed more than a mile
north of the intended target and, instead of the open
Plains of Maidos, they were forced to attack in the
broken foothills of the Sari Bair Range. Militarily
they were never to recover from this disaster. It marred
the plan and made their task impossible.
Few of the 12,000 ANZAC troops that landed that day
could have foreseen what lay ahead and how their actions
would contribute to shaping the culture and spirit of
their nations. It is a legend that will remain etched
forever in the hearts and minds of Australians and New
Zealanders.
