00:04Hundreds of Australian and New Zealand nationals attended a dawn service at ANZAC, Australian
00:10and New Zealand Army Corps Cove, on the shore of Gallipoli in Turkey on Saturday.
00:15The ceremony marked the 111th anniversary of the day when thousands of soldiers struggled
00:21ashore on a narrow beach at Gallipoli during an ill-fated military campaign that claimed
00:26more than 130,000 lives.
00:34The relationship between Turkey, Australia, and New Zealand is built on remembrance, respect,
00:43and recognition of our shared humanity.
00:47On ANZAC Day we return to the battlefields of Gallipoli to remember the Turkish, New Zealand,
00:56and Australian troops and all who served here and who died here.
01:04While these men died as soldiers, they were first and foremost our sons, brothers, fathers
01:15and uncles.
01:17And their loss has left lasting scars for so many families and their communities.
01:26Gallipoli was the first time that soldiers from Australia and New Zealand fought under
01:30their own flags and is seared into the national consciousness as a point where their countries
01:35came of age, emerging from the shadow of the British Empire.
01:38In honor of the Australian and New Zealand soldiers who lost their lives, the Turkish government
01:44has named the site ANZAC Cove.
02:08In addition to the past, the Russian army was in the UK, the U.S.
