where were the anzacs supposed to land at gallipoli?
gallipoli peninsula
the term "anzac" began as an acronym for the australian and new zealand army corps in world war i, but it was soon accepted as a word in its own right. the anzacs formed part of the expeditionary force organised by britain and france to invade the gallipoli peninsula and clear the dardanelles straits for the british navy. the australian anzacs represented the national effort from a young nation taking its part in the great war and reports of the courage they displayed at gallipoli became the most enduring legend of australian military history (government architect's cmp, 2007).
