Gallipoli Dawn Service 2015

25 April 2015 marked the 100th anniversary of the Anzac landings at Gallipoli. Anzac Day is a time to reflect on the contribution made by all of our past and present service men and women who have displayed great courage, discipline and self-sacrifice in choosing a life of service to their country.
The Anzac spirit lives in the heart and minds of all Australians as we acknowledge the courage and sacrifice of those who contributed so much in shaping the identity of this proud nation. Approximately 2240 ADF members are currently deployed on operation, continuing the Anzac spirit whilst serving Australia’s national interests at home and in many countries around the world.

Cheers lads! A Turk speaking: Like every single Turkish kid, I was taught about how valiantly your grandfathers fought and more importantly with honour. Throughout our history more than 2000 years, from China to the gates of Vienna, those ANZACs were the most honorable "enemy" we've ever had. Like Mustafa Kemal Ataturk said "your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well." Salutations to the all heros of the last gentlemen's war!

[@mcorhan2341]

Why was New Zealand's anthem cut from it?

[@ItsAHedgehog]

+Dev Gamez , I am wondering the same thing! The singer did a beautiful job, too. Shame to cut it.

[@chrvmat1c726]

Royal Australian Air Force is cool

[@CarolePritchard1]

I WAS THERE, well not quite there but was cruising off ANZAC in memory of my Grandfather, made him a promise the last time I "saw" him that we would be there for the 100th and we were. AMAZING experience, there were also about another 6/7 ships as well as ours all cruising just outside ANZAC. My Grandad landed at ANZAC on the 25th April 1915 with the 4th Battalion AIF between 11an and 12 pm and was KIA at Lone Pine between 6 to 9th August 1915 and he was English, left England in about August 1914 and enlisted at Liverpool Camp NSW.

[@angieroxy7550]

Landing at ANZAC????

[@Tartankiwibird]

Can't believe I sat through that video and the NZ anthem was cut out! I was there and it was a beautifully sung rendition. Bad form by the Aus Air Force.

[@angieroxy7550]

Ur Lucky to hear a Foreign National Anthem !

[@carterbishop274]

We will remember them

[@Testoboi]

Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives... You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side now here in this country of ours... you, the mothers, who sent their sons from faraway countries wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land. They have become our sons as well. Kemal Atatürk

[@kleuda2384]

Respect to the Johnnies and Mehmets.

[@nathanielsantistevan4019]

for all those New Zealanders and other people who wished to hear the NZ anthem at the end of this service. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJ28dnmlr66ejKM here is the link for a separate video of the NZ anthem at the end of the 2015 Gallipoli Dawn service.

[@nataleemiller5659]

God bless the Anzacs

[@kiwigeofreak]

So, Royal Australian Airforce, could you tell us all why you cut out the New Zealand National Anthem?

[@johnsimpsonkirkpatrickhist1372]

A very emotional and moving tribute.

[@leanneblake4248]

Lest We Forget.

[@mythraider27]

This is your home yours. See You.. in 2016

[@brianakl]

I know you guys are the Royal Australian AF but how rude cutting of New Zealands National Anthem.

[@corbo75]

I just watched this with my kids and was disgusted that the NZ anthem was cut off. Very disrespectful!

[@groot3665]

Geldiğiniz gibi gidersiniz ..

[@mechul3529]

Peace👏

[@MerdolSayguner]

Büyük ATATÜRK ün bu topraklarda yatan askerler için söylediği anıtsal sözler heba olup gitti.Keşke bu sözler bir Anzac askerine okutulabilseydi. Okuyan subaydan özür diliyorum, bu Onun ne hatası ne de vazifesi.

[@angieroxy7550]

*Itsa Shame they Cut out the New Zealand Anthem*

[@davidmacdonald3103]

How sad that heir to the UK throne chose to lay an English wreath with no acknowledgment of Scots / others involvement.

[@Sugarglider1]

after all, judge your self, about what has been said and the future

[@hitlersarikirmizi8978]

location of commemoration?

[@shamirpatel3569]

Gallipoli

[@chubibx4619]

How turks allowed ansac to celebrate this annivarsary there?

[@eselcen]

+Besik B Chubinidze only Anzacs are permitted nobody else has that privilege. It is the only commemoration site a former enemy is welcomed.

[@AUmarcus]

+Besik B Chubinidze Anzac Cove Gallipoli Turkey.

[@LJY08]

If it's so damn important then how come Melbourne didn't get a paid holiday for it? It didn't even register in Melbourne for that reason, nobody even knew about it. It came and went just like any other weekend. I didn't even know it was 100 years since the Gallipoli landing...is there something in that?

[@jamesjames7286]

Really great occasion until Tony Abbott turned up!

[@dncsx2902]

Tony Abbotts speech wasn't THAT bad

[@turkishturk4907]

THE GREAT TURKEY!!! VICTORY IS OUR!!

[@dastemplar9681]

In war, no one wins, no one is the good guy, no one is the hero. The only heroes were those who perished. Johnnies and Mehmets died side by side, they lived in the same trenches, they lived under the same weather, they lived under the same falling of bombs and shells. Despite being enemies, a brotherhood was forged between them

I wish Jerry Mataeparae had practiced his damn speech before he gave it. His mihi was shite.

[@DYLSBY]

jerry was in New Zealand not turkey

[@dimiou13]

Where did they see "Hellenic Republic of Greece" written? pfff!

[@southafricandominion]

Trust the Church of New Zealand to use the silly modern version of the Lord's prayer which no one knows and no one joined in
