From, “ANZAC Day dawn services,” NineMSN News, 4/25/12:
Thousands of Australians rose early to pay respect to the
nation's fallen diggers in Anzac Day dawn services around the country this
morning.
It is 97 years since Australian soldiers stormed the beaches
of Gallipoli early on the morning of
25 April, 1915.
A father who has brought his children to every dawn service but one in the last 15 years summed up the mood: "I always have a tear in the eye by the end of the service."
Gallipoli is a peninsula located in Turkish
Thrace, the European part of Turkey,
with the Aegean sea to the West and the
Darndenelle straits to the East.
