  3. The Spirit Of The A.N.Z.A.C. The Anzac Spirit is courage, mate ship, bravery along with the ability to laugh and joke with others. These are all the things that Australian were known for and are still today. Quotes “I'd rather be killed than leave them there to die “ "Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear"

  4. The Battle Of Gallipoli • The battle of Gallipoli started on February 19th 1915 and ceased on January 8th 1916 . • Allies were Britain, France, India, Australia and New Zealand • Fighting against Turkey (The Ottoman Empire) • Bad leading, planning and luck, combined with a shortage of equipment condemned the Allies and forced us to seek a conclusion to this bloody battle • The battle continued until December 1915 when troops started to be evacuated. • By January 1916 the troops have stopped the campaign.

  5. Australia's involvement in the first world war • Mainly supporting Australia's mother country Great Brittan • The men fought on the front line • The women became nurses for Australia Army Nursing Service. • The women also organized and packed supplies to keep the morale of the fighting up

  6. Casualties at Gallipoli • Many many soldiers died at Gallipoli, approximately 141,000 Anzac Personnel • Men Died from Fighting, Sickness, Dehydration, Lack of food and bad planning by the people in charge of the campaign. • Some sicknesses were ; dysentery and trench foot • The Anzacs where also ill-equipped, Because of this, they here forced to improvise, for example Jam tin Bombs ( Old jam tins, stuffed with plastic explosives, makes good hand grenades)

  7. How WW1 Helped Shape Australia • World War 1 was important in shaping Australia's identity because it helped establish Australia as our own country, with our own spirit, culture, and beliefs. • Australian troops signed up to help out as they felt that we should help out our 'mother country' - Britain. • When the Australians went to war, we had only been a nation for 13 years. World War 1 was important in making Australia what it is today, because it brought our nation together as a whole for the first time. • It was the first real chance for Australia to forge our own identity, and to make a name for ourselves.

  8. How WW1 Helped Shape Australia • Australian troops were considered undisciplined by British soldiers, (who were very disciplined) but they made up for their 'undisciplined ways' with their bravery and mateship. • ' I do hope that we shall hear no more of the 'indiscipline' of these extraordinary Corps, for I don't believe that for military qualities of every kind their equal exists. Their physique is wonderful and their intelligence of a high order ' This was a quote from a man who went to inspect at Gallipoli. • When the Aussies returned from the battlefields, they bought back their "larrikin spirits". People now thought of Australians as impresssive and brave soldiers.

  9. How WW1 Helped Shape Australia • Another important aspect of World War 1 was that because all the men were away fighting, the women of Australia took over the workforce, in order to try and keep normal life flowing. • Women’s contribution to the workforce because of WW1 rose from 24 per cent of the total in 1914 to 37 per cent in 1918. • Because of the Anzacs, Australia has a reputation of being hardworking, brave and intelligent, just like the diggers when they were fighting overseas.
