Can you hear Australia's heroes marching?
A national war memorial song and a tribute to the ANZAC spirit of mateship, courage and sacrifice.
Gallipoli Campaign 1915
Over 8,000 Australian soldiers died in the Gallipoli campaign, and even though the campaign was a failure, the ANZAC legend was formed.
Australia was a young nation and the courage and character shown by Australians at Gallipoli was quickly recognised and honored back home.
The Battle of Gallipoli resonated profoundly among all nations involved. ANZAC Day (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) is commemorated in Australia and New Zealand each year on April 25 (2,721 New Zealand soldiers died at Gallipoli). The battle is often considered to mark the birth of the national consciousness of each nation, replacing their former collectivised identity under the British Empire.
The song is timeless and honours the memory of those who have died in the service and defence of Australia in war. The marching theme of the song is especially powerful and supports the spirit of ANZAC Day. The song does not glorify war or endorse conflict of any kind. The song simply highlights the sacrifice of many Australians who died in the service and defence of our country in war.

GALLIPOLI 1915 - 2015, 100 Years - The 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli Campaign (1915 - 2015) will be a significant commemorative event for Australia and even though it is five years away, discussion is already taking place regarding what events, like the idea of an AFL ANZAC Day match between Essendon and Collingwood being played in Instanbul. It has been stated that how we commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli Campaign will set the tone of Anzac Day commemorations for the next 100 years. Tourism to Turkey will also increase for this important anniversary in Australia's history. Travel and tour companies are already presenting and planning tours for Gallipoli 2015.
A commission is to be headed by Bob Hawke and Malcolm Fraser and will decide the most appropriate way to commemorate the Anzac Day centenary in 2015. The Australian public can make submissions to the commission, which will also include RSL national president Ken Doolan. Suggestions include raising the AE2 submarine in the Dardanelles Strait, the building of a new war memorial annexe, or ANZAC scholarships. The task of the commission will be to call for submissions from across the nation on how Australia can most appropriately mark this important centenary.
