Anzac

ANZAC (abbreviation for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) refers to a body of Australian and New Zealand troops who fought in World War I at Gallipoli and the [Western Front]?.

Within Australia the ANZACs came to stand not just for the troops in World War I, but for Australian soldiers in time of war more generally. ANZAC day is annually celebrated in memory of those soldiers who died in war. It is celebrated each year by both countries on April 25, the date of the first landing at Gallipoli in 1915 on a beach which was subsequently to become known as Anzac Cove. (It is similar to days such as Veterans Day, Armistice Day or V-E Day celebrated in other countries.)
