Wright-Patt marks Anzac Day with annual ceremony

During World War I, ANZAC was the name given to the Australia and New Zealand Army Corps troops who landed on Turkey’s Gallipoli peninsula at dawn April 25, 1915, and fought in the Gallipoli Campaign. It led to major casualties for Australian and New Zealand forces during the war.

Anzac Day is always recognized on April 25 and often accompanied by dawn memorial services, “gunfire” breakfasts and commemorative marches.
