It's now some 109 years since that day on April 25, 1915, the Australian and New Zealand soldiers faced their first major battle of World War 1.
They fought with endurance, courage, ingenuity, good humour and mateship - values we've come to know as the Anzac spirit, and values that live on in us today.
There's no greater way to honour our Anzacs and all who followed in their footsteps than attending an Anzac Day service and keeping the Anzac spirit alive.
