The First World War began on 25th April 1915,
members of the Australian Army Force landed at
Gallipoli, with troops from New Zealand, Britain, and
France. Following Gallipoli, Australian forces fought
campaigns on the Western Front and in the Middle
East. It started when a man, called Gavrilo
Princip killed a Hungarian man Duke Franz.
World War 1 finished in 1918.
The seas that most of the soldiers, would
have traveled through are the Black Sea,
Marmara Sea and Aegean Sea. Gallipoli is
right on the tip of Turkey, the surrounding
countries are Greece and Bulgaria.
Gallipoli is very important to all the Allies,
because they lost family and their best
mates. Australia keeps Gallipoli, in our
history because it was the fist time we had
gone to war.
ANZAC means Australian New Zealand
Army Corp. In Australia lots of people
forget that New Zealand fought with
Australian Soldiers .
We have a day in New Zealand and
Australia, where we remember the
ANZACs that fought for us and are still
putting their life on line for our country,
that shows how much they love this
country.
th
25
On April the
every year, we
celebrate ANZAC
day, we celebrate it on the 25th
because it is the day, that the
ANZACs landed at Gallipoli in 1915.
On ANZAC day people wear poppies, because they
were the first plant to grow back after the war. On
ANZAC day you, will hear the ode. It is a song of
remembrance. If you are or were at war, at the end of
the day you would here the bugle playing the Last
Post.
On ANZAC day you can go to a ceremony at a War
Memorial. At a War Memorial there are big walls with
the names of the soldiers that have fought for our
country .
On ANZAC day I go to the traditional game of
footy. On this day Essendon plays Collingwood.
At the start of the day there is a service, at this
time you have to sing the National Anthem and
there is a minute silence.
I feel that ANZAC Day is a very important day
that should be supported.
Thank you for watching my PowerPoint.
