ANZAC Day Service QRA

Every year on April 25, we come together as a nation to commemorate our soldiers, past and present, as we recognize their bravery, love, skill, mate ship, passion and courage, which they have so kindly shown by their fight, service and passing to the military and their homes.

It was on this day in 1915 that our ANZAC soldiers landed by sea upon the cliff-ridden shores of Gallipoli, Turkey, under the cover of darkness, battling to beat the break of dawn and marking the beginning of a lengthy battle between the Allies and the Turkish soldiers during World War 1.

Surrounded by sheer cliff faces and hundreds of hidden Turkish soldiers the ANZAC’s fell under immediate gun power and unbeatable odds. By the end of the costly battle at Gallipoli, the Allies saw the loss of 8701 Australian and 2701 New Zealand brave soldiers.

We mark the Gallipoli landings in 1915, as well as commemorating all Australians who have served and died in military operations.
