AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Writing from Gallipoli in December 1915, Birdwood honours the Australian and New Zealand forces and explains the reasoning for his choice of the name 'Anzac' as the 'telegraphic code address' on the Egyptian front, and 'Anzac Cove' for the place at which the forces landed at Gallipoli.
