This is the first edition of the 1948 book written by C E W Bean about the 1915 Gallipoli campaign. 

Charles Bean - The first report Commonwealth of Australia Gazette No.39. Monday 17th May 1915 Prime Minister's Department, Melbourne, 17th May, 1915. The following report, which has been received from the official press representative with the Australian Expeditionary Force in connexion with the landing of the troops on the Gallipoli Peninsula, is published for general information.

The Spirit of ANZAC was suggested by official war historian C.E.W. Bean to have 'stood, and still stands, for reckless valour in a good cause, for enterprise, resourcefulness, fidelity, comradeship and endurance that will never own defeat.' The Spirit was epitomised in the deeds of Simpson with his donkey at Gallipoli - comradeship, courage and sacrifice: others before self.

All about the creation of the Anzac Spirit. Great for first and last questions.

This website was good as it gave a great explanation and helped me understand the spirit of the ANZAC's quite well.

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.
