Welcome to the ANZAC Day Commemoration
Committee of Queensland Incorporated web site. (Our ABN is 46 457 412
054.)
ANZAC was the name given to the Australian and New
Zealand Army Corps soldiers who landed on the Gallipoli Peninsula in
Turkey early on the morning of 25 April 1915 during the First World
War (1914-1918).
As a result, one day in the year has involved the
whole of Australia in solemn ceremonies of remembrance, gratitude and
national pride for all our men and women who have fought and died in
all wars. That day is ANZAC Day -- 25 April.
Every nation must, sooner or later, come for the first
time to a supreme test of quality; and the result of that test will
hearten or dishearten those who come afterwards. For the fledgling
nation of Australia that first supreme test was at Gallipoli.
This site includes a host of educational and
historical information on ANZAC Day, the Spirit of ANZAC, and all
conflicts in which Australian forces have served. The site will be
regularly updated and improved as resources permit.
