Frankston Park Holds Dawn Service for Anzac Day

The 100th anniversary of the beginning of the Allied Forces’ Gallipoli campaign in World War I will be marked on April 25 with commemorative events in Australia, New Zealand, Turkey and around the world. On April 25, 1915, Allied soldiers landed at Gallipoli in an attempt to take the peninsula from Ottoman Turkish defenders allied with Germany. The campaign turned into an eight-month-long stalemate during which 44,000 allied soldiers died.
