Can you name three famous Anzacs?

Question

Please help!

Answer 1

So many complicated answers for such a simple question. Breaker Morant fought in the Boer War (and was executed by the British in 1912). The ANZACs weren't created until 1915. Also note that Bernard Freyberg (New Zealanders will know of him) didn't strictly qualify as he fought in the British Army in World War I.

I'll give you a selection:

Albert Jacka. Won the Victoria Cross at Gallipoli, and the Military Cross twice in France.

John Monash. Commanded a Brigade at Gallipoli, went on to command the entire ANZAC force in France. Was justifiably aclaimed as the greatest allied General on the Western Front. Monash university is named after him.

John Simpson Kirkpatrick, the man with the donkey.

Leslie Morshead. Commander of the Australian 9th Division in World War II; fought at Lone Pine in Gallipoli and in France in World War I. Arguably Australia's second greatest general after Monash.

And - without a doubt that he deserves to be better known - Charles Upham, a New Zealander who won the Victoria Cross twice in World War II (the only person in that War to hold that honour). Eventually captured by the Germans, after several escape attempts he was held in Colditz. When liberated it was said that he raided the Colditz armoury and recommenced his personal war with Germany.

'Weary' Dunlop. Australian surgeon and prisoner of war of the Japanese in World War II.
