Anzac Day was held on Sunday, with services and memorials across Australia and the world to commemorate Australian and New Zealand soldiers who gave their lives in the various conflicts around the world.

Australia's first military conflict was during the first world war on the shores of Gallipoli in Turkey. The ABC has developed an excellent resource for teachers and those with a passion for history on their website. The best way to describe this resource is an interactive 3D documentary.
