ANZAC, an acronym created in }9L5 fortheAustralian NewZealandArmyCorps (ANZAC Day, 00.6) were originally volunteers for the AIF (Australian Imperial Forces), during the Great War. Ariapproximated 50,000 Australians were sentto Gallipoli. Most above the enlisting age, but few under 18 Years of age. Of those 50,000 Australian soldiers fighting against a relentless war, 8,709 were killed. ^9,44, were grovely injured (ANZACS of Gallipoli, 00.6) During the First World Warthe ANZAC landed in the central Gallipolipeninsu}a on the dawn of the 25'' of AprilL9i. 5, LOT years ago. Eight months later in December 19}5, the stalemate was met with a retreat from the ANZACs (Gallipoliand the Artzacs, 2016). From this sacrifice the ATizac spirit was born, a fierce will for all Australians, all current serving Australian soldiers and retired veterans. From Sydney to Perth the ANZAC spiritis alit, blazing through each and every Australian. But what is it that 1 Even though there is thousands of Idiometers separating Australia and the original battlefield of the ANZACs. The ANZAC spiritcontinuousto live on through our events and celebrations. Each and every Yearthe ANZACs are remembered fortheirsacrifice and devotion to their country throughwar memorials. These take place in each and every city in AUStraha, whether it be through a dawn service, a schoolassembly, a Mass or social gathering. This remembrance, our remembrance of Australian soldiers and their war in GaHipoli(ANZAC Day, co^6) In each state there is a state memorial, where a dawn service is conducted Yearly, commemorating the ANZACs fortheir valiantservice to Australia, there are 36 memorialsin NSW, z in the ACT, 36 in QLD, 16 in Victoria, linTasmania, and PAGE3 more than 900 war memorials and related objectsin WA (Wildpedia, 2016). Each year, thousands of Australians flocl< to these memorials alike, to pay respects to the fallenANZAC soldiers. It 1sthrouoh this commitment to respect, that the ANZAC spiritis carried on, Whether it be a father taking his daughter to a war memorial, and later on that daughter taking her own child to a Dawn service. These simple actionsthat we allundergo, keep alive the spirit of ANZAC. On the 20LS Loo year commemoration of the ANZACslanding of Gainpoli, a collection of ANZAC Centenary coins wasreleased by the Australian Mint, these coins decorated with desions and images of the ANZACs, from depictions of the Gallipolilanding, and the brave soldiers who fell. These coins in their own way, carry on the ANZAC spirit(The Perth Mint, 2016) Manyother eventsa. rid monuments celebrate the ANZAC spirit.
