ANZAC soldiers sneak attack


Almost all of the great soldiers on Australia and New Zealand sneak attack got killed, 11,000 men. ANZAC stands for: Australia and New Zealand Army Corps.

In 1915 in April on the 25th at 4:15 am ANZAC soldiers prepared to make a sneak attack.

The Ottoman Army knew that New Zealand and Australia were coming but New Zealand and Australia didn’t know they saw them. The moon had just gone down and the guns were shooting. Many were killed.

ANZAC soldiers did this (but lost the battle) to give us freedom and to protect our country in WW1.

Australia and New Zealand went to battle or war in the country called Turkey in Gallipoli at the beach that used to be known as   Z beach. It is now called ANZAC cove.

To remember the soldiers who fought at war and have been killed New Zealand and Australia wear poppies and lay wreaths on memorials. They also have a moment of silence.
