...first global scale conflict, Australia participated in World War 1 in the 1910’s (1914 – 1918) and fought against countries such as France, Belgium and the British on the western front of Gallipoli.

What is the purpose of the war memorials and monuments? How did the ANZAC legend shape the way Australian’s fought? By discussing these topics, it becomes evident that the Australian experience of the war, including the nature and significance of the war has greatly impacted upon Australian history and culture....

Chauvel on his horse Wars are extremely important for our Australian history as they exemplify the courage, loyalty and the determined hardship that our ancestors demonstrated as they fought for the freedom of our country. General Henry George (Harry) Chauvel contributed his life to Australian history, and as a consequence, he is a great example of someone who personified the ANZAC legend.

...by Australians as Anzac Day. It is a day to remember the landing at Gallipoli Peninsula on April 25, 1915, the 8 months that followed and the thousands of men who served in the Gallipoli campaign. The day marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand soldiers during the First World War. Australians enlisted to fight in the WWI by the thousands, enticed by a sense of adventure and higher wages. They also enlisted because of their hatred of Germany and they had a desire to avoid the disapproval of their peers. As a country, Australia entered WW1 on the British side with reasons being British ancestry and Australia’s relations with Britain, the ‘mother country’....

...the fighting started, they found out that in reality, the Gallipoli experience was rough, demanding, and both physically and psychologically damaging, and yet it was from the effects of these very aspects that the Anzac Legend grew. The harshness of the Gallipoli experience easily explains the origin of the Anzac Legend and how it came about - the difficult conditions making the troops learn of values that were essential fighting qualities for being a soldier at Gallipoli. Even before the Australian troops had started fighting at Gallipoli on the 25 April, 1915, it was a hard battle. Along the coast of Gallipoli, there were little places where the boats could land, and when they finally did, Source 1 states that the troops had get past beaches that were tangled with barbed wire; then, as can be seen in Source 2, ascend the steep hills which were mined, rocky and scrub-covered - much different from the "...gentle slopes which they had been briefed to expect" (L7, Source 2). Additionally, the entire time the Australians were subjected to continuous attacks from their enemies - "...snipers deliberately picking off every officer who...lead his men" (LL4-6, Source 4) - which made the treacherous climb up the prohibitive terrain even more difficult. The Anzac Legend was born from the values that all Australian troops displayed while fighting for their country at Gallipoli. Even though the Turkish had won the campaign, it was the values that Australians showed during the time -...

...The Battle of Gallipoli, or the Dardanelles Campaign took place on the Gallipoli Peninsula of Turkey, formally the Ottoman Empire between the 25th of April, 1915 and the 9th of January 1916 (History.com 2010). It was an unsuccessful attempt by the Allied nations to secure a year-round supply route between Europe and Russia. It was also the birthplace of the ANZAC legend, reinforced over eight months of constant fighting on the Turkish shores. While the campaign was unsuccessful, the Australian and New Zealand soldiers showed extraordinary courage, initiative, mateship and military discipline. These qualities are ones that the government of Australia used as a measuring stick when passing policy, offering social programmes and building the nation’s...

...How the Anzac legend began, what impact has it had on Australian society and how the Gallipoli campaign contributed to the development of Australia and its people. To explain how the Gallipoli campaign impacted on Australia we need to also understand how we ended up at Anzac Cove. Australia was federated in 1901; under an Australian Flag the newly formed Federation committed its support to the British Empire. On August 4th 1914 Britain declared war on Germany and Australia entered the war soon after on September 11th 1914. The war was entered with great enthusiasm by Australia (as it was allied with many countries). The Australians went to Gallipoli thinking that they couldn’t let their chance for adventure go by and signed up they also went with the intention to avoid the disapproval of friends and family. Some women showed their disapproval of men who were not in uniform by giving them a white feather as a symbol of cowardliness they also needed the extra wages as the pay (six shillings) was quiet a lot of money for them. Then on 25 April 1915 when the Anzacs landed at soon to be named Anzac Cove. Incredibly steep terrain and an aggressive Turkish defence interrupted and slowed their advance. They were soon stopped by the Turks who surrounded both beachheads with their trenches....

I would also like to acknowledge my family for their help and support in the production of this recount. I thank my father and my brother especially for their time in coming with me on a special trip to the Australian War Memorial, to browse at Andrew Gillison’s diary and records. I would also like to acknowledge the staff at the Australian War Memorial for their time in obtaining the records for me to read.

Introduction While the Federation of Australia occurred in 1901, 25th April 1915 is the national day hallowed as the birth of a great nation, whose identity was formed on the bloody sands of a foreign nation: Gallipoli.

...Land and Climate Area (sq. mi.): 2,988,902 Area (sq. km.): 7,741,220 Australia is the sixth largest country in the world. It is just smaller than Brazil and about four-and-a-half times the size of the U.S. state of Alaska. Australia is the only country that occupies a complete continent. It is also the driest inhabited continent in the world. About one-third of its land is desert and another third is composed of poor-quality land. A long chain of mountains, the Great Dividing Range, runs along the Pacific coast. Fertile farmland lies east of the Great Dividing Range, in the southwestern corner of Western Australia, and in the island state of Tasmania. Cattle stations (ranches) reach the edge of the barren interior desert. The famed Australian Outback is an undefined region that encompasses all remote, undeveloped areas. The Outback is seen as a mystical heartland or frontier—a symbol of Australia's strength and independence—where the climate is hot, life is hard, and people are tough, independent, and few.

...MODULE C – History and Memory Sample 1 How has your understanding of events, personalities or situations been shaped by their representations in the texts you have studied. Refer to your prescribed text and at least TWO other related texts of your own choosing. History can be defined as “the methodical record of public events” where memory is defined as “the faculty by which events are recalled or kept in mind”. Thus history and memory interrelate as history can be seen as the contextual justification for memory. “The Fiftieth Gate” is a poignant interweaving of history and memory. The text follows protagonist, Mark Baker an historian, son of Holocaust survivors Genia and Yossl (Joe), on an historical journey through memory, to uncover the origins of his past and act as a catalyst for future generations to also connect with their history. Mark Baker’s journey through history and memory is also executed through his conventional ideas that memory is biased and less valid than history. There are numerous references to the discrepancies between the personal memories of his parents and the documented history Mark as an historian believes. In this way it is apparent that Mark is on a quest for verification, “my facts from the past are different”. This displays the flaw Mark traditionally notes in memory and his need for historical evidence. As responders accompany Mark on his journey, they also encounter the complexity of simultaneously being a son and an historian. This...

This concealment of her true identity allows Rosalind to discover whether Orlando truly loves her. It also allows Rosalind to gain a deeper understanding of herself. This is seen through the use of dramatic irony, this enhances the audience’s connection with the characters and adds to the humour of the play. “Nay, you must call me Rosalind”. Ultimately, it is when her actual identity is exposed that she is capable of loving and being loved by Orlando. | Jasira is essentially undergoing an identity crisis. Her parents are divorced...
