Gallipoli centenary: Australia and New Zealand mark Anzac Day

 

Australia and New Zealand are remembering soldiers from the two countries who fought at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War One.

Events throughout Saturday mark the centenary of the landing of Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (Anzacs) at Gallipoli on Anzac Day.
A service was held on the peninsula attended by dignitaries.

It is estimated more than 11,400 troops from Australia and New Zealand were killed in the course of the campaign.
Anzac Day is arguably the most important national occasion for Australia and New Zealand.
Gallipoli holds a special place in Australian hearts. Many believe it was here Australians proved themselves the equal of any in the world, heralding the young nation's emergence onto the world stage.
