The ANZACSTya
Anzac fightersThe Anzacs were great warriors who fought in the great war at Gallipoli. Fighting for peace and freedom many lost lives. Anzac stood for Australian, New Zealand Army corps.
History of AnzacsAt the time of the great war, Many like Turkey fought for the first time in the allies of Germany,Thinking forward of capturing the capital of Istanbul, and keeping the supply routes from Russia open through the Black sea. Many Anzacs, (New Zealanders and Australians) thought the other way, and were deployed as the allies of the Gallipoli peninsula.
At the Anzac Cove.
Turkish were being pains and stubborn, keeping troops and invaders close to the landing sites. Many were devastated, and the Turkish were destroying plans of the ANZACS. After many months of slaying, the ANZACS withdrew in 1915, and so after allied withdrawal. This caused the battle at Gallipoli. That was the ANZACS first major battle, and many lost their lives.
Remembrance and relationships
Connections…• Still until today, many students in our
school have a unique and different connection to the memorial in our school.. To celebrate the happiness the soldiers have given us, we all celebrate by making ANZAC biscuits, wreaths and poppies.
History of the Obelisk This memorial was built for the brave lads from our school who went to war to support our nation and fight for us. It was built in 1916, though we never knew
when it was finished.
Our Memorial…
More history of the white ObeliskThe white Obelisk was built in the time of Joseph Kennedy, Former Principal of our school. His son fought in WW1.Sadly he got injured in battle so he had to go to hospital in England. As he stayed there, he bumped into his sister, who was a violinist on tour. Fortunately she could stay by his side and take care of him. Daisy the sister, stayed till he recovered. While that was happening, the news spread and arrived in Australia. Many think that the scenario of his son getting injured, drew him into building the memorial.
Continuing…Even though the memorial being built was against the law, the students still built it for the memory of the scholars. Why they didn’t want them to built a memorial is because It would remind them of how bad the war was, They each built it hand by hand. This shows us how important it was to the community of the students and teachers. Joseph Kennedy died many years later. He was the headmaster of the school for eight years.
