Ever since April 1915, when New Zealand and Australian forces united on the battlefield of Gallipoli, the word ‘ANZAC’ (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) has been part of our national identity. Today, it reminds us of the 30,000 New Zealanders who have lost their lives in the world’s wars – and particularly the men who landed, fought, endured and died at Gallipoli.
