Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC)

The Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) was a military formation during World War I, comprising soldiers from Australia and New Zealand. Established in 1915, ANZAC is best known for its involvement in the Gallipoli Campaign, which aimed to secure a sea route to Russia and knock the Ottoman Empire out of the war. The campaign faced fierce resistance and resulted in heavy casualties. ANZAC Day, observed on April 25, commemorates the sacrifices of these soldiers and has become a significant national day of remembrance in both countries, highlighting their shared history and military heritage.
