Walking with an Anzac

Today we learned some about Anzac. Nathaniel and I got a poster and a piece clothing. The poster was about a the last dinner for the 40 soldiers. The cloth was a Hallensteins brand clothing it belonged to Harold a NZ soldier. The war was at 3pm 5th August 1914 in Gallipoli it started on April 1915 - December 1915. 100,000 New Zealanders soldiers served overseas in the war, 41,000 were wounded or fell ill 18,000 died and funny enough 5 soldiers were soldiers. Recruits had to be 162.5 cm tall less than 77kgs  and physically fit minimum age of 20 years old. Dental health was poor that a separate Dental corp was formed.
