Answer 1

ANZAC day is a very important one for Australians and New Zealanders, and is taken very seriously. It goes back to the Gallipolli campaign of WW1. A very wonderful generation of Australian 'diggers' fought and died there.
I suggest that you go to the website of the Australian War Memorial, in Canberra - there will be a lot of information about the ANZACs there.

Answer 2

I think you'll find the original ANZACs fought in World War One.

The poem about the poppies is:
In Flanders Fields
By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918)
Canadian Army.

Simpson and his donkey:
John Simpson Kirkpatrick (July 6, 1892 – May 19, 1915), also known as Jack Simpson, was a stretcher bearer with the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps at Gallipoli during World War I. He landed at Anzac Cove on April 25, 1915 and, on that first night, took a donkey and began carrying wounded from the battle line to the beach for evacuation. He continued this work for three and a half weeks, often under fire, until he was killed. Today Simpson and his Donkey is an Anzac legend.

The Battle of Gallipoli took place on the Turkish peninsula of Gallipoli. From April 1915 to January 1916.


Maybe you should have a look at the Australian War Memorial site below:

Answer 3

Simpson was a stretcher bearer. He and another guy would have to wait tilll the battle moved away from the wounded before they could carry them down to the beach hospital.

Simpson wanted to go into "no man's land" while the battle was still raging to get the wounded before they died, but he wasn't allowed to take a 2nd person with him .... that's when he got a donkey to carry the wounded.

*********************************
Another special guy was at the "pull out". He remembered how many died getting up the cliffs and knew they'd be loosing more guys while they were retreating to the ships.
He developed an automatic firing system to make rifles shoot from the trenches at different times through the night making the enemy think the Anzacs were still there.
None were lost. All made it to the boats.
That guy later worked on weapons development including the "Dam Buster" in WW2

Answer 4

Yes, check out that awm.gov.au site- it's excellent.

A point about Simpson was that he was known to the ordinary soldiers at Gallipoli, but was unknown to officers or those 'running' the war. The men who dragged casualties from the trenches back to the beach for treatment had to do so under fire, because the position at Gallipoli was exposed. So it was a 'suicide' job. Simpson was considered amazing because he used a donkey, thus making himself much more obvious a target and easy to hit. Like most others doing his job, he was killed... but not before he became a 'legend' to the ordinary soldier at Anzac Cove.

Would such a man become famous in modern, media-managed wars? I doubt it.

Answer 5

Sorry to break it you you but ANZAC's were WW1 1915 they were Australia and New Zealand Army Corps.

John Mccray

Maj. john Mccray
25 April 1915

Don't know the peace sign sorry

It was in Gallipoli

ANZACS+CANBERRA+AUSTRALIA Google that and you should find the War memorial, or ANZACS+NEWZEALAND

Answer 6

Actually, it is WW I


In Flanders Fields

John Mc Crae

by Major John McCrae
Canadian Officer

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below

We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.


Simpson (and/or his donkey)

1915. 25 April was the first day (that must be a coincidence, that it happened on ANZAC day)

The Gallipoli invasion was at Gallipoli, in Turkey.

Answer 7

he's asserting that to attempt and provoke you, in case you desire to place him quickly tell him that would not provoke you. you may desire to declare some thing alongside the traces of: Oh cool,I desire to be with close acquaintances particularly than a extensive social gathering, in no way somewhat understood why human beings experience the would desire to flow and get wasted a week to have relaxing, i discover i could have greater relaxing without that,
