ANZAC Day and WWI Commemoration display

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Gallipoli.

 'of the landing of New Zealand and Australian troops, popularly known as Anzacs (the acronym of Australia and New Zealand Army Corps), at Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey in 1915. The attempt to capture the peninsula failed. However, New Zealand and Australia strengthened their ties during the campaign. It is widely believed that for New Zealand, the Gallipoli experience sowed the seeds of nationhood.'

This event is a very important part of our history with how it affected New Zealanders (then and now) and how the country developed towards the present day.
There is a display in the library which has further information on ANZAC Day and World War One, and of course showcases the books we have in our library about the Anzac's, WWI, and war in general.
