How long were the Anzacs at Gallipoli?

Answer 1

25 April 1915 to 20 December 1915. 239 days by my calculation.

In a sense though, because Australians always buried their dead where they died (up until the Korean War), some never left, which meant that some (over 8,000) are still there.

***Edit***

The discrepancy in dates - 19th or 20th December is partly due to the 19th being the 'last day', as the last soldier left during the night, shortly before dawn on the 20th. And others are correct to point out that there was a very large British and French force at Gallipolli (most a few miles down the coast from the ANZACS), the last of whom withdrew in January 1916 as I recollect.

Answer 2

"The Battle of Gallipoli took place at Gallipoli from April 1915 to December 1915 during the First World War."

The ANZAC tradition began in World War I with a landing on 25 April 1915 near Gallipoli on the Turkish Aegean coast. Because of a navigational error, the ANZACs came ashore about a mile north of the intended landing point.

25 April - 3 May 1915 seem to be the dates

Anzac was maintained as a threat to the Turkish line of communications and a drain on their resources. When the British ceased offensive operations at Helles, Anzac provided the base from which to launch a new offensive in August in what became the Battle of Sari Bair.
The reorganisation of the brigades of the Australian 1st Division following the reinforcement by the RND allowed a tally of the battalions to be made. In the period from April 25 to 30, the casualties for each brigade are shown in the table.

Only adjacent to Quinn's were the original objectives achieved. Elsewhere the positions gained were useless, being overlooked and exposed, offering no advantage to the Anzacs. With dawn on May 3, most of the troops withdrew. Some of the 13th Battalion held out all day, abandoning their trenches that night. The debacle of the attack was compounded when the Nelson and Portsmouth Battalions of the RND were told to advance in support after dawn on May 3, by which time the attack had clearly failed. In a move that gave "Dead Man's Ridge" its name, the Marines of the Portsmouth Battalion were led up that precipitous slope in full view of the Turkish machine guns."

Answer 3

Kelly ... why are you on YAHOO ANSWERS and not swatting over your History Text book ..

I know it is possible that your family have only been in australia since the last 30+ years and that the ANZAC legend and history is something that you don't really have a connection to .. BUT..... having said that .. I have to suggest that you take the time to really learn about World War One and especially what took place at Gallipoli ... as it is responsible for a great deal of the australian Psyche ...

Gallipoli itself was a shamozzle .. a massive defeat , massive loss of life .. the greatest thing about Gallipoli was the actual evacuation where not a single life was lost ...The thing about Gallipoli are the The bonds of friendship that were formed in the direst of situations .. Friendships and respect that actually crossed enemy lines .. How our ( and when I say our I mean the ANZACS) troops behaved then set the mode for NOW and our troops are among the highest respected in the world.

INCIDENTLY ANZAC should ALWAYS be written in capitals .. as it is an acronym AUSTRALIAN NEW ZEALAND ARMY CORPS .....

again I say to you .. take the time to learn about this .. I can reccommend many good books ..
The Spirit of The Diggers being one of them...

also ANZAC day IS NOT about Glorifying war.

Answer 4

On April 25, 1915, as part of an allied force of British and French troops, Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) landed at a small bay at the western end of the Peninsula (today officially called Anzac Cove).

ANZAC forces evacuated on December 19, 1915.
