There were lots of animals that helped the soldiers at war and were also company for the soldiers. Some of the animals were cats, donkeys, dogs, goats, monkeys, birds and horses. There was even a turtle that became a mascot and friend of some of the soldiers from the NZ Army. On the Turkish side, the campaign also cost an estimated , casualties, with 65, killed. It began as a naval campaign, with British battleships sent to attack Constantinople now Istanbul.
This failed when the warships were unable to force a way through the straits known as the Dardanelles. For the vast majority of the 16, Australians and New Zealanders who landed on that first day, this was their first experience of combat.
By that evening, of them had been killed or wounded. The Allies hoped to seize control of the strategic Dardanelles Strait and open the way for their naval forces to attack Constantinople Istanbul , the capital of Turkey and the Ottoman Empire. The first red poppies to come to Australia, in , were made in France. At the second battle of Ypres in , when in charge of a small first-aid post, he wrote in pencil on a page torn from his despatch book:.
We are the dead, short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow. Take up our quarrel with the foe, To you from failing hands we throw The Torch: be yours to hold it high! Colonel McCrae died while on active duty in May We cherish too, the poppy red That grows on fields where valour led. And now the torch and poppy red Wear in honour of our dead.
Red poppies are proudly on display, as volunteers hit the streets during the annual Poppy Day appeal. Poppies have been associated with war zones since at least the Napoleonic Wars of the early s. However, their special significance today is strongly tied to our proud Anzac traditions. Alexis Helmer was killed in the battle, along with thousands of other men on both sides.
This loss of life greatly distressed McCrae. The red poppies mentioned in the poem were among the first plants to grow in the soil of Flanders following the battle. McCrae linked them to the loss of his comrades and the continued fight of those who had survived. After writing the poem, McCrae threw it away. His pages were rescued by a fellow officer, who sent them to the English magazine Punch.
