    Ladies when you add a site to the group you need to add useful tags so people can search for and find your source later. You need to add at least four or five tags.

    Wreaths of red Flanders poppies are traditionally placed at memorials on ANZAC Day. On 25 April every year, Australians commemorate ANZAC Day. It commemorates the landing of Australian and New Zealand troops at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915. The date, 25 April, was officially named ANZAC Day in 1916.

    This reference is from the Australian War Memorial so it is very trustworthy. It has stated on the site how many Australians died in the Gallipoli Campaign. There is a table which describes the people who died in action, from diseases, wounds and gives you the month these soldiers were killed in.

    Michelle Rayner: This is the time of year of course (late April) when we reflect upon the Australian experience of the Great War, and more particularly the landing at Gallipoli. And as Anzac Day passes for another year, today on Hindsight a critical and reflective perspective on why it is that Australians have come to invest so much meaning in the legend of Anzac.

    An overview by Robert Lewis The year 2004 marks the 90th anniversary of the onset of the First World War. Australias support of Great Britain as the Mother Country meant that this country was also at war. The information that follows examines the impact this conflict had on the fledgling Australian nation.

    This website helped me a lot. On pages 10 onwards, there is many primary sources. In the sources there are images, letters from the soldiers and newspaper articles from 1915. The newspaper article on this website was the first article released to the Australian public about the Gallipoli Landing. These were very helpful and contributed to most of my inquiry questions.

    The ANZAC spirit The legend of ANZAC was born on 25 April 1915, and was reaffirmed in eight months' fighting on Gallipoli. Although there was no military victory, the Australians displayed great courage, endurance, initiative, discipline, and mateship. Such qualities came to be seen as the ANZAC spirit.

    Hey, this site is really good because it talks about the mateship and the experiances are still happening and is still real. Unfortunatly, this site is not an account or a quote from WW1 but an army man's experience in the war in Timor in 2000 and Afghanistan in 2008. However, this will be a great site to reference to about how the spirit is still relivant and embody today. Anna

    First to Fall - Introduction See details of the 58 men from the 11th Battalion who were killed in action on 25th April, 1915. Australians commemorate 25 April 1915 as 'Anzac Day'. It was the day of the 'Landing at Gallipoli' when more than 20,000 Australians and New Zealanders and some servicemen from other countries went ashore at the Gallipoli Peninsula.
