94rd Anniversary Gallipoli-Turkey

The ANZAC (the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) tradition
began in memory of the 25th of April 1915 when ANZAC troops
stormed the beach now known as ANZAC Cove on the peninsula at
Gallipoli in Turkey. The move was designed to secure the
sea passage through the Dardanelles (a straight joining the
Aegean Sea with the Sea of Marmara and which leads to Istanbul)
as part of the strategy of the Allies to defeat the Central
Powers of the First World War.
The ANZAC forces landed not on the flat beaches expected but
faced with narrow beaches and steep dunes. Five Turkish
Divisions were entrenched and waiting, and following fierce
fighting in appalling conditions, both sides suffered severe
losses in the following weeks. In the eight months that
followed before the Allies withdrew, 8,597 Australians lost
their lives and over 19,000 were injured. |

ANZAC Day
was first celebrated with a Dawn Service in 1923, a tradition that
has continued to the present day. ANZAC Day remembers the
fallen of all the conflicts in which Australia and New Zealand
have participated and the term `ANZAC´ refers to all soldiers of
New Zealand and Australia. |

In 1993, Former Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating said -
That is surely at the heart
of the Anzac story, the Australian legend which emerged from the war.
It is a legend not of sweeping military victories so much as
triumphs against the odds, of courage and ingenuity in adversity. It
is a legend of free and independent spirits whose discipline derived
less from military formalities and customs than from the bonds of
mateship and the demands of necessity.
Ataturk's Reconciliation
Statement
THOSE HEROES THAT
SHED THEIR BLOOD AND LOST THEIR LIVES...
YOU ARE NOW LYING IN THE SOIL OF A
FRIENDLY
COUNTRY.
THEREFORE REST IN PEACE. THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE JOHNNIES
AND MEHMETS TO US
WHERE THEY LIE SIDE BY SIDE HERE IN THIS COUNTRY OF OURS...
YOU, THE MOTHERS,
WHO SENT THEIR SONS FROM
FARAWAY COUNTRIES WIPE AWAY YOUR TEARS; YOUR SONS ARE NOW LYING IN OUR BOSOM
AND ARE IN PEACE. AFTER
HAVING LOST THEIR LIVES ON THIS LAND THEY HAVE BECOME OUR SONS AS WELL.'
MUSTAFA KEMAL ATATURK (1881-1938)
