Hi Brian,
Dawn April 25th 1915 was the date and time of the first time Australians participated in a major battle as a nation and not as individual colonies. The term ANZAC is the acronom for the combined forces of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corp. They fought on the Gallipoli peninsula along with the Kiwis and British forces and the French fought on the eastern side of the Dardenelles Straight. Unfortunately a major disaster but a bringing together of a young nation. After Galipoli the survivors whent on to fight at other battlefields including France and Belgium (with Canadians and French) and Palestine.
