ANZAC Day marks the first landing of "diggers" from the Australian Imperial Force at Gaba Tepe, now known as ANZAC Cove, on April 25, 1915.
Twenty thousand Australian soldiers landed just before dawn on the Gallipoli peninsula.
By nightfall, 747 of those soldiers would lie dead, killed by Turkish troops.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
