On Anzac Day, April 25, Australia's armed forces parade in front of the National War Memorial in Canberra, the capital city. Each year Australians and New Zealanders remember a tragic battle that took place during World War I. On April 25, 1915, troops of the Australia and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) landed on the coastline of Turkey, near Gallipoli. In the following months, 11,000 of them were killed, along with many young French and British soldiers.
