I know that the war started in 1914 and finished in 1918 and that many many people died.
The ANZAC's landed on a beach on April 25, they had to travel up a very steep hill to get to where
they wanted to make trenches.
The trenches were filled with giant rats with diseases.
I liked looking at all the medals and I learnt that the highest medal is the Victorian Cross.
Our enemies were the Germans and the Turkish.
We fought alongside the British.
If you earn medals you wear them on your heart, if they were passed down to you from a family member you wear them on the opposite side, but only on special occasions.
We also watched some videos and learnt about weapons.
On ANZAC Day I went to the Pulse (NZ) vs Swifts (Australia) Netball game. Before the Game started a man came came out and played the trumpet then a woman said a speech about those who have died in war. After the game I went to the Light show and it was so amazing. There was a slideshow showing videos and photos from the war, I took lots of pictures
I think it is a good idea to commemorate this event so everyone can remember all the soldiers who had fought and died in Gallipoli as it wasn't a nice place to be in.
