Description: The men of the Australian & New Zealand Army Corps, or Anzacs, as they came to be known, occupy a unique place in history. Rushing to the colours even before their governments had formally offered troops to Britain, many felt pride at helping defend the Empire. However, the hard fighting on the Gallipoli Peninsula soon hardened these idealistic young men into tough fighters, and forged within them a strong sense of endeavour.
