My speech
“The Day We Remember”
The Australian Imperial Force crossed the Indian Ocean disembarked at Alexandria, and went into camp about 10 miles from Cairo. After a few months of hard training, they were embarked again. In co-operation with British and French troops, they were to attempt to get control of the most famous waterway in the world. The Turks had declared for Germany. It was thought that if that stretch of water which connects the Black and Aegean Seas could be wrested from their grasp, the most favourable results would follow. And so to Gallipoli; the hilly tip on the European side and at the Aegean Sea end of the Dardanelles –the name given to the narrow strait through which the Sea of Marmora empties into the Mediterranean.
At dawn on the morning of April 25, 1915, the landing was made. Tumbling out of the boats into water up to their thighs, the men hurried ashore, raced across the sand and flung themselves down behind the nearest shelter. Straight ahead hills and gullies rose almost from the water’s edge to a height of 400 feet. They were swarming with Turkish soldiers, whose bullets struck sparks from the stones in the sand over which the Australians tore for cover . With matchless bravery and doggedness the Australian and New Zealand Army corps (A.N.Z.A. C) fought their way up and around those deadly slopes until they held a crescent shaped area. The middle of it was about a mile from the beach. The beach was called Anzac Cove.
By the end of 1915, it was clear that the grip of the Turks on Gallipoli could not be removed. The attempt to remove it had cost the Allies 41,000 fighting men. Of these 8,587 were Australians. “They were the flowers of this world’s manhood, and died as they had lived , owning no master on this earth “The army had to be withdrawn. To the surprise of the enemy, and our men, that was done without loss on December 20th, 1915.
Thus Anzac was; beside the lure
Of soft seas, counselling retreat
He armed his spirit to endure.
Beyond the limits of defeat;
And there’s no story in our lore.
More eloquent, nor prouder than:
‘Our brother sleeps above the shore
On Anzac – where our Pride began.’
