One-hundred-and-nine years ago today - on the morning of April 25, 1915 - soldiers of the Australian Imperial Forces stormed the beaches at Gallipoli.
They were the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, and it was the birth of a legend known as the Anzacs.
However, it was also Australia's first significant loss on the battlefield, with more than 8000 young Australians and a total of 58,000 Allied soldiers losing their lives during the Gallipoli campaign.
