100 years ago today was the start of the Gallipoli campaign which lasted from 25 April 1915 to 9 January 1916. It was the birth of ANZAC Day.
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission lists 2,871 members of the New Zealand Armed Forces who died fighting for New Zealand between those dates. Over 16,000 died in total in WWI.
Here is a list of those 2,871 New Zealanders who died at Gallipoli, or during that period. We shall not forget them.
