Anzac Day

The battle of Gallipoli

1915

The battle of Gallipoli happened on the 25 of April in 1915 it marked when the British had launched a failed attack on Turkey, New Zealand, Australia and ect. They were in Turkey at the time when Britain had launched an attack. Around  100k+ people had died on the battlefield. For eight long months New Zealand Australia   Troops had been fighting with turkey. Today we remember our lost soldiers by celebrating Anzac Day. We had lost 100k soldiers in the battle and around that time there were around 1 million people in New Zealand. To put it into perspective we had lost about 10% of our population. It was a brutal battle and some soldiers weren’t allowed to come home which was depressing for them. Many other soldiers had suffered from shell shock and that is why we are celebrating the day we had lost many soldiers that had a wife and kids by marching and many more to remember our lost soldiers.
