ANZAC writing

In class this term we have been learning about Anzac in Gallipoli so I have chose to write a report writing about Gallipoli world war 1 and how they got on to land from there ship.




        Gallipoli World War 1 

During World War 1, Gallipoli was important to us because it was where there was a big battle and where many of the soldiers got wounded and got shot. It is important because there were soldiers from New Zealand that fought for their family, us, and for their country. Did you know that Gallipoli is in Turkey?

Battle at Gallipoli
In 1915 the Turks and the  Germans were battling with British and the French in Gallipoli. Anzacs were sent to  help their allies . Soldiers were shipped most of the way to Gallipoli but then they would of had to get off the ship and hope on the long boats and rowed to land. The soldiers had been sent to the wrong landing place and were ambushed by the Turks.

Tragedy at Gallipoli
50,000 Australia served in Gallipoli campaign 5482 killed in action 2012 died of wounds 665 died of disease total deaths 8159, 17,924 wounded 70 prisoners of war.The soldiers knew that winning was impossible. 16.697 New Zealand were killed and 41,317 were wounded during the war thousand of men died within five years of the war's end, as a result. 507 died while training in New Zealand between 1914 and 1918.

Gallipoli today
During the First World War. Signallers played a vital role conveying orders to the front line and sending up-to-date information back to headquarters. They were also well placed to disseminate information informally

The end of 1915 marked the end of  the battle for the anzac . Today we remember ANZAC day and remember those that fought in the war
