EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of historical significance as Australian and New Zealand troops, collectively known as ANZACs, begin their disembarkation at Anzac Cove in Gallipoli, Turkey, on April 25, 1915. Marking the beginning of the Gallipoli Campaign during World War I, this pivotal event is commemorated annually as Anzac Day in Australia and New Zealand. The Dardanelles Campaign was a joint effort by the Allies to secure a sea route to Russia through the Dardanelles Straits and to help relieve the pressure on the Eastern Front. The troops, seen here wading ashore through the rough waters, were met with heavy Turkish resistance, resulting in a prolonged and costly battle. The ANZAC troops, many of whom were volunteers, were renowned for their courage and determination. Their tenacity in the face of adversity helped to forge a strong national identity for both Australia and New Zealand. The legacy of the Gallipoli Campaign extends beyond military history, as it is also remembered as a symbol of mateship, sacrifice, and the enduring bond between the two countries. This powerful image, taken during the early stages of the campaign, serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who fought in World War I. The photograph's historical significance is further emphasized by the fact that it was taken during a pivotal moment in the campaign, which would ultimately result in the evacuation of the ANZAC forces from Gallipoli in December 1915.
