3) For your interest and understanding, we’re forwarding you the following article from Jill Curry of Catch The Fire Ministries, titled ‘ANZAC GALLIPOLI CENTENARY 2015’.
In 1914, Britain and France were allied with Russia. Russia wanted control of the strategic narrow waters of the Dardenelles, Sea of Marmara and Istanbul, which were controlled by the Turkish Ottoman Empire. Britain and France therefore went to war at Gallipoli on the Western shores of Turkey to defeat the Ottomans. The first ANZACs landed at night in the wrong place and were greeted at dawn with steep cliffs instead of a beach with a gentle slope a few kilometres to the north. For eight months they battled atrocious conditions before finally retreating before the cold winter really set in, after losing 7,594 men. This was an horrendous loss to a young nation and has been etched on the hearts of Australians ever since. Nevertheless, it has been said that it was in the trenches that Australia became a nation as men from different states became joined in heart instead of just federated on paper. Through hardship their character was forged and their bravery won the respect of the world, while their loved ones back home were unified behind a common cause.
