ANZAC'S               

(Australia and New Zealand Army Corps) 

Hi Guys! I really hope everyone had a great holiday and a good, decant break off school, and are ready to get back into the good-old school routine!






















...Now that's out of the way lets get on topic then, so this weeks blog post is about the ANZAC'S. Some people refer to it as the 'spirit of Anzac's. 
Anzac is the acronym for Australia and New Zealand Army Corps. (as you may have already found out about in the tile)

This corps was created early in the Great world war of 1914-1918. (WW1) In December 1914 the Australian Imperial Force and New Zealand Expeditionary Force stationed in Egypt, and was under the control of Lieutenant General William Birdwood.

Latter the Anzac's first saw action at Gallipoli on 25th April 1915. The small cove where the our troops landed was what we call now; Anzac cove. With 2700 New Zealanders dead at Gallipoli and 4700 were wounded. In December 1915 the troops were taken off Gallipoli. They did not win but they called themselves heroes. 








New Zealand thanks and remembers all its soldiers on Anzac Day.....

I learned heaps during our brief Anzac topic, just imagining what those solders went through is just amazing! I can't even believe it, and all they thought was that they were going to go on an over seas adventure! jeez... 

I'm glad we celebrate these typos of events it's what makes history, and people definitely should learn about this sort of stuff, so that we never encounter it again! Least we forget!    

Goodbye!!!

Before you leave... let me know what sort of war ceremonies you went to in the long weekend in the comments bellow!  

For me, I went to the five o'clock show and after that the light show. I also went 
in to the museum that just recently opened. It was an awesome experience!
