Under the banner of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps - known far and wide as ANZAC - we would face Lone Pine and Chunuk Bair. Fighting side by side in the mud on the Western Front, and in the jungles of Vietnam. Over the decades, in the trenches, in the skies, and on the seas, we forged the strong bonds of ANZAC.
