The spirit of the ANZACs comes to the fore every 25th April when the nation stops to remember and revere the lives of those soldiers ordered to cross the beach and attack the Turks on that fateful morning. The characteristics of perseverance, courage and self-sacrifice are those we recall every year when remembering this fatal event.
