As we mark 110 years since the first Anzac Day, we'll explore the origins of this enduring legend.

Join us as we trace the experiences of ANZAC soldiers, from the preparations for war and training to the landing at Gallipoli.

Drawing on archival records, this seminar will explore stories of courage, resilience and strong bonds of mateship.

We'll reflect on how these early experiences shaped the enduring Anzac spirit we remember today.

This is a joint event presented by National Archives of Australia, State Library of South Australia and State Records of South Australia.
