sentences: The Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) was a First World War army corps of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force.
 It was formed in Egypt in December 1914, and operated during the Battle of Gallipoli.
 General William Birdwood commanded the corps, which comprised troops from the First Australian Imperial Force and 1st New Zealand Expeditionary Force.
 The corps disbanded in 1916, following the Allied evacuation of the Gallipoli peninsula and the formation of I ANZAC Corps and II ANZAC Corps.
 The Corps was reestablished, briefly, in the Second World War during the Battle of Greece in 1941.
HMAS "Anzac" (D59) was a Battle class destroyer of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN).
 Named after the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, the destroyer was commissioned in 1951.
 The ship served on two tours of duty during the Korean War, and attempts to distinguish herself from British ships led to the practice of red kangaroo symbols on Australian warships.
 During 1956, "Anzac" served during the Malayan Emergency.
 In 1960, a malfunction in the destroyer's gun direction equipment caused "Anzac" to fire directly on sister ship HMAS "Tobruk" during a gunnery exercise, with "Tobruk" left unrepairable.
 In 1961, the destroyer was reclassified as a training vessel.
 "Anzac" remained in service until 1974, and was sold for breaking a year later.
The Royal New Zealand Nursing Corps (RNZNC) is a corps of the New Zealand Army.
 The corps was initially formed in 1915 from civilian nurses who volunteered for service during World War I, and who were granted honorary officer ranks.
 A Nursing Reserve had been formed as part of the New Zealand Medical Corps on 14 May 1908.
 Today, the corps is an officer-only corps that consists of commissioned officers who are employed for their specialist skills and knowledge as registered nurses, the corps works in conjunction with the Royal New Zealand Army Medical Corps and the Royal New Zealand Dental Corps to promote "health and disease prevention" and to provide "care for the wounded and sick".
 Nursing Officers in the New Zealand Army can be employed broadly in primary health, perioperative, surgical or emergency settings, which can see RNZNC personnel providing health services in a garrison health centre, in a civilian practice, or deployed on operations.
Three ships of the Royal Australian Navy have been named HMAS "Anzac", after the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC).
An Anzac biscuit is a sweet biscuit, popular in Australia and New Zealand, made using rolled oats, flour, sugar, butter (or margarine), golden syrup, baking soda, boiling water, and (optionally) desiccated coconut.
 Anzac biscuits have long been associated with the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) established in World War I.
The 1st Light Horse Brigade was a mounted infantry brigade of the First Australian Imperial Force, which served in the Middle Eastern theatre of World War I.
 In 1914, the brigade formed part of the New Zealand and Australian Division but during the Gallipoli Campaign served in the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC).
 After being withdrawn to Egypt they served in the Anzac Mounted Division from March 1916 as part of the Egyptian Expeditionary Force, taking part in the Sinai and Palestine Campaign until the end of the war.
The II ANZAC Corps (Second Anzac Corps) was an Australian and New Zealand First World War army corps formed in Egypt in February 1916 as part of the reorganization of the Australian Imperial Force following the evacuation of Gallipoli in November 1915, under the command of William Birdwood.
 This corps, along with the I ANZAC Corps, replaced the original Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC).
The ANZAC acronym came from the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, formed in Egypt prior to the Gallipoli Campaign during the First World War.
 The corps was the higher formation for all Australian and New Zealand soldiers.
 It then gave its name to ANZAC Cove, on the Gallipoli peninsula, and at first was only used to identify the men who took part in the Gallipoli landings, although it later came to mean "any Australian or New Zealand soldier of the First World War."
 Both the 'ANZAC' and the 'Anzac' versions of the acronym have been protected by the Commonwealth Government of Australia.
Anzac Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand that broadly commemorates all Australians and New Zealanders "who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations" and "the contribution and suffering of all those who have served".
 Observed on 25 April each year, Anzac Day was originally to honour the members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who fought at Gallipoli against the Ottoman Empire during World War I.
The Anzac" class (also identified as the ANZAC" class and the MEKO 200 ANZ type) is a ship class of ten frigates; eight operated by the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) and two operated by the Royal New Zealand Navy (RNZN).
 During the 1980s, the RAN began plans to replace the River-class destroyer escorts with a mid-capability patrol frigate, and settled on the idea of modifying a proven foreign design for Australian conditions.
 Around the same time, the RNZN was seeking to replace their "Leander"-class frigates while maintaining blue-water capabilities.
 A souring of relations between New Zealand and the United States of America in relation to New Zealand's nuclear-free zone and the ANZUS security treaty prompted New Zealand to seek improved ties with other nations, particularly Australia.
 As both nations were seeking warships of similar capabilities, the decision was made in 1987 to collaborate on their acquisition.
 The project name (and later, the class name) is taken from the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps of the First World War.
