Gallipoli and the Anzacs | The Anzac landing at Gallipoli | Why did the Anzacs land? - 7 views

  •  
    This is a description of a book that has great quotes and information about the Gallipoli landing. It is great because if you use a book, then you are using a wider range of sources, rather than just the internet.

    A brief description of the landing An excerpt from Denis Winter's book,25 April 1915 - The Inevitable Tragedy,University of Queensland Press, 1994. The landing scheme was a simple one, in outline at least. The 3rd Brigade's 4000 men would land as a covering force to secure a beachhead for two Australasian divisions made up of six brigades.

    This website has a lot of information and sources from a book (25th April 1915 - The Inevitable Tragedy by Denis Winter). It also gives information about the landing in Gallipoli.

    This source was extremely useful for sources on the Gallipoli Landing and the Anzac Legend!
  •  
    This is a great website, it has good information on the Anzac Legend and Gallipoli
  •  
    The Legend The story of the Gallipoli landing inspired the legend of ANZAC, which since then has been developed, expanded, embellished, confirmed, and sometimes challenged. It still remains central to many Australians' self-image. Before the war a largely urbanised and newly federated nation had looked to its rural environment for its national character.

Talking about the Anzac spirit - 0 views

  •  
    It started with one of New Zealand's most ill-fated military campaigns on the beach at Gallipoli in Turkey in 1915, and is now perhaps our most cherished national day. To mark the launch of Last Post, First Light, we approached five New Zealanders with a close interest in the Anzac spirit to share their feelings about what April 25, Anzac Day, means to them.

    I found this webisite extremely helpful in determining what the ANZAC legend is and relating it to the Spirit of the ANZAC's
  •  
    I am the ANZAC SPIRIT. The ANZAC legend is many things to many people, to me the legend is as relevant today as it was 95 years ago, it is embedded in our DNA, it is who we are as a nation. The Anzac Legend is the Australian Spirit.

    Thursday 25 April 2013 ANZAC Day goes beyond the anniversary of the landing on Gallipoli in 1915. It is the day we remember all Australians who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations. The spirit of ANZAC, with its human qualities of courage, mateship, and sacrifice, continues to have meaning and relevance for our sense of national identity.

    This is a day not of celebration but of national memory. It's a day when we learn, and learn again, of the horror of purposeless war. It is a day for looking after your mates, cherishing your home, your neighbourhood and family ...

Historians argue the Anzac legend is more pork pies than bully beef - 4 views

    This website is of an article that discusses how some historians believe that the Anzac Legend is a myth more than a reality.

    A diversion from the truths ... the myths surrounding Anzac Day. Photo: Mike Bowers ANZAC DAY is nearly upon us again, by jingo. And it is by jingoism that many historians now believe the myths surrounding this most hallowed day have diverted us from the truth.

    Imperial Ties And World War One The depths of Australia's emotional and strategic ties to Britain were revealed with the outbreak of World War One. When Andrew Fisher declared that: "Australians will stand beside our own to help and defend Britain to our last man and our last shilling", young Australian men volunteered in their enthusiastic thousands.

The Spirit of ANZAC Explained - 11 views

  •  
    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.
