Anzac Corps

The Anzac Corps was a military formation composed primarily of Australian and New Zealand troops during World War I. Formed in 1915, it is best known for its involvement in the Gallipoli Campaign, where these soldiers fought alongside the Allied forces against the Ottoman Empire. The term "ANZAC" stands for the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. The legacy of the Anzac Corps is significant, symbolizing the bravery, sacrifice, and camaraderie of these soldiers, while also marking the emergence of a national identity for both nations. Anzac Day, observed on April 25, honors their contributions and sacrifices.
