25th of April, 1915. Gallipoli was the first time Australians and New Zealanders fought in their own uniforms alongside their mates. The campaign showed how bold, how loyal, how innovative, and most of all how brave the young Anzacs
This is a wonderful reference book for young readers, and others of any age who are looking to understand the main structure of why WW1 was declared, and what happened next. It explains in easy to follow fact boxes, the main points of how and why Australian soldiers were sent to Gallipoli, why so many died, and what the outcome of the campaign was. It also tells us why Anzac Day is commemorated on April 25. * Buzzwords Magazine *
