The First Anzac Day
AT dawn on April 25, 1915, the inlet of Ari Burnu, on the peninsula of Gallipoli lost its name. It became Anzac Cove, the bridgehead of an invasion which failed. By the time the troops were evacuated, eight months later, 15,000 Allied soldiers lay dead on the peninsula-3000 of them New Zealanders. The story of the Anzac venture, of the opposition to it, and of its execution and final failure, is graphically told in a half-hour NZBS documentary, The First Anzac Day, to be broadcast by all ZB stations and 2ZA this Anzac Day, Sunday, April 25, at 2.0 pm. The feature was written by Allan Sleeman and produced by him at the Christchurch studios of the NZBS.
