• Take up our quarrel with the foe ;to you from failing hands we throw the torch be yours to hold it high If ye break faith with us who die

• We shall not sleep; though the poppies grow

Anzacs leaving N.Z

• The men thought they were of on a grand adventure. They thought they were sailing to Great Britain, and then to fight against the Germans in France.

• Many of them had been born in Britain and thought they would have a chance to see their old friends and family whilst they were over there.

Evacuation

• The fight went on for eight months at Gallipoli.

• The Generals realised that they were going to lose the fight, so the Australians played a game of cricket to distract the Turks but they were really trying sneak away .
