Today is Anzac Day, Australia and New Zealand's remembrance day. 100 years ago the assault on the Gallipoli Peninsula began and the impact this and the subsequent fighting had on the populations of these two countries was immeasurable.
Although the invasion of Turkey took part 100 years ago, the first ANZAC Day didn't take place until 1916, a year after the invasion. Here in New Zealand it's Gallipoli 100.
After work I stayed up, I finished at 3:30 am and attended the dawn parade and service in Nelson, beginning at around 6am. 600 crosses were planted in the grass representing those from the region who lost their lives.
These were taken with my phone, so aren't the best quality.
