Passport to the World over 64 years. Pages from my Travel Diary
Anzac Cove, Gallipoli Turkey, for Anzac Day Ceremony 25th. of April, 1998 In April 1998, my wife Denise and myself fulfilled a long held ambition when we flew from Melbourne Australia, to Istanbul in Turkey, so that we could attend the special Anzac Day service upheld each year at Anzac Cove, at the spot where Australian and New Zealand troops had waded ashore to tackle the Turkish troops, on the 25th of April in 1915. It was at this site, that the legend of ANZAC had its birth, the word being formed from the first letters of Australian New Zealand Army Corps. You can find the article here. |
