Australia WWI Activities
Australia and the First World War
In 1914, the First World War began. Australia was part of the British Empire, so it joined the war alongside Britain and its allies. Australians volunteered for military service, and many travelled overseas. They served in different places and roles, including as soldiers, nurses and workers supporting the forces. On 25 April 1915, Australian and New Zealand troops landed on the Gallipoli peninsula in what is now Türkiye. The campaign lasted for months and caused great hardship and loss of life. The name ANZAC comes from the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, the force formed for the campaign. Over time, “Anzac” became a word connected with the service and sacrifice of Australians and New Zealanders. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people also served during the war. Some enlisted despite facing discrimination and restrictions at home. Their service was not always recognised fairly at the time. Today, Australians mark Anzac Day on 25 April. People may attend dawn services, lay wreaths or pause for a minute of silence. These acts help people remember everyone affected by war, including those who served and those who did not return. Remembering also means learning about the past and considering the cost of conflict.
