Australian and New Zealand Army Corp

The Australian and New Zealand Army Corp (ANZAC) was an army unit of the British Empire in the 20th century, made up of soldiers from Australia and New Zealand.

In 1915, the Gallipoli campaign of the First World War saw the British Empire send its army, mostly from ANZAC, to take the peninsula of Gallipoli from the Ottoman Empire before quickly moving on to Constantinople. Ultimately, the terrain and the enemy turned out to be much more than the British had bargained for, and the ANZAC soldiers were slaughtered. (PROSE: Direct Action)
