110 Years Since the Gallipoli Landings
This ANZAC Day marks 110 years since the April 25, 1915, landings at ANZAC Cove on the Gallipoli Peninsula. Although the original plan to advance through the Turkish heartland resulted in a bloody stalemate, the heroism and sacrifice that Australian soldiers, along with those from New Zealand and other allied nations, have left a lasting impact, not just here but across the world.
During the Gallipoli campaign, approximately 8,700 Australian soldiers and 2,779 New Zealand soldiers died as they fought over a tiny patch of land in brutal trench warfare.
The tradition of ANZAC Day began to develop even as the fighting continued, soon becoming the national day of commemoration that we know today.
As we pause to reflect on the significance of the day, we should remember all who served their country and sacrificed both physically and mentally.
On the Virtual War Memorial, we have a number of Gallipoli and ANZAC Day articles from previous years for you to read.
