The Australian and New Zealand Army Corps

The Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) was a combined military unit formed during World War I, mainly known for its role in the Gallipoli Campaign of 1915. Comprising troops from Australia and New Zealand, ANZAC symbolized their joint military efforts and national identity. The term has since become a symbol of bravery, sacrifice, and national pride for both countries, especially commemorated on ANZAC Day each year. Originally created to operate together, the corps exemplified strong Allied cooperation in wartime combat.
