Anzac and After

On 25 April 1915, men of the Australian Imperial Force landed on the Turkish coast at Gallipoli. We now commemorate this day as Anzac Day.

In this special program that explores the Anzac story and spirit, your students will learn about life at the Front for Australian soldiers and nurses during the First World War. Education staff and volunteers will use real and replica objects from the era to tell stories of Victorian service and sacrifice.
