EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the momentous arrival of Australian and New Zealand soldiers, collectively known as Anzacs, at Anzac Cove on the Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey on April 25, 1915. Marking the beginning of the Gallipoli Campaign during the First World War, this historic event was a turning point in the ANZACs' military history. The soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms, are seen disembarking from small boats with determination and resolve etched on their faces. The little boats, filled with anxious and excited troops, approach the shoreline, where they are met by their comrades who have already landed. The soldiers wade through the water, carrying their equipment, as they make their way to solid ground. The scene at Anzac Cove is chaotic yet orderly, with soldiers and supplies being unloaded from the boats and transported to the shore. The soldiers' arrival marks the beginning of their arduous campaign against the Ottoman forces in the Dardanelles, which lasted until late 1915. The Gallipoli Campaign was a significant military failure for the Allied forces, but it is remembered as a defining moment in the ANZACs' military history. The courage, determination, and sacrifice displayed by the soldiers during the campaign have become an integral part of the Australian and New Zealand national identity. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the Anzacs during the First World War.
