addedThe day of the landings is now remembered as Anzac Day, for the bravery and sacrifice of the Australia and New Zealand Army Corps at Anzac Cove specifically. Australia and New Zealand were Dominions of the British Empire and were brought in from the other side of the world to lay down their lives for a war they weren’t directly involved in.

addedAbout Anzac Day25th April is a day of national remembrance in Australia and it marks the first major military action that was undertaken by soldiers from Australia and New Zealand during the First World War. It is timed to coincide with the date in 1915 when Australian and New Zealand soldiers undertook their landings at what would become Anzac Cove on the first day of the Gallipoli Campaign.

addedAbout Anzac DayThe first Anzac Day was marked in 1916 both across Australia and in London and was seen as an expression of patriotic support for soldiers still fighting. Since the 1920s it has become a day of national commemoration in both Australia and New Zealand. An important part of this ceremony has become the Dawn Service which is marked across Australia, New Zealand and at Anzac Cove itself.

addedAbout Anzac DayAnzac Day has become an important moment in Australian national identity and marks the point when Australia took its place on the world stage. It plays a similar level of importance to New Zealanders though they also recognise the attack on Chunuk Bair in August 1915, as a moment of national importance.

addedAnzac CoveThe Australian and New Zealand soldiers of the British Empire land on the beach at Anzac Cove to capture various key points beyond the ridges near the coast. However, the defending Ottomans are more than prepared to die to prevent the Diggers and Kiwis from moving inland.

The landings of the Gallipoli campaign were launched in the early morning on April 25th, 1915. The forces of the British Empire and France stormed the beaches at what they dubbed Anzac Cove and Cape Helles. The landings were a success, but a lot of lives were lost to achieve it. What followed was almost a year of fighting over the Gallipoli peninsula that ended in the Ottomans coming out victorious and maintaining control.

The day of the landings is now remembered as Anzac Day, for the bravery and sacrifice of the Australia and New Zealand Army Corps at Anzac Cove specifically. Australia and New Zealand were Dominions of the British Empire and were brought in from the other side of the world to lay down their lives for a war they weren’t directly involved in.

A small part of the BlackMill Games team is at Gallipoli right now participating in ceremonies to mark the anniversary of the Gallipoli Campaign and the soldiers from all sides who fought and died there. This includes the Dawn Service at Anzac Cove which is held each year to commemorate the more than 8,000 Australian soldiers who died during the campaign.
