On the 25th of April, 1915, the ANZACs were involved in their first major military operation, on the shores of Gallipoli. Those who landed that fateful morning were new to the horrors of war, but amazed all by trying their best and achieving more than many believed possible. This was where the ANZAC legend was born.
