ANZAC Day is a national day of commemoration in New Zealand and Australia when we remember those who died in the war.
The Gallipoli Peninsula is equally revered by the Turkish people who also suffered great loss defending their homeland against invasion. It is also a place of remembrance for other countries that participated in the 1915 campaign including Britain, France, India, Ireland, South Africa, Canada, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Germany.
Commemoration services will be held over two days. The Turkish International Service (Mehmetcik Abide), French Memorial Service (Morto Bay) and Commonwealth Memorial Service (Cape Helles) will be held on Thursday 24 April. The Anzac Dawn Service (Anzac Commemorative Cove at North Beach), the Australian Memorial Service (Lone Pine) the Turkish 57th Regiment Memorial Service and the New Zealand Memorial Service (Chunuk Bair) will be held on Friday 25 April.
New Zealanders travelling to the Gallipoli commemorations are encouraged to register their details with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
