N is for Nurses

The ANZACs called the nurses 'front line angels.' It took a long time for the nurses to carry a wounded soldier to the hospital because of the mud and cratered roads. To save time, they built some of the hospitals at the front line.    

The nurses who worked in the hospitals were every bit as brave as the men. Their job was to save lives. Many soldiers owe their lives to the 'front line angels.'

ANZAC Day

What I know about the ANZAC war is that it was very dangerous, loud and not a fun place to be in. The ANZACs had to eat bully beef and fly stew, if you wonder why fly stew its because fly would fly into there stew (Yuck!) Some of the ANZACs who survived the war said "The bullets were like hailstones whizzing past my body,'' Also some of the ANZACs couldn't sleep  because they had nightmares about the war.

ANZAC V for Villers-Bretonneux (Bret-on-er)

Villers-Bretonneux is a small French village which the ANZACs saved during World War One.
A British General (who had won a Victoria Cross) said that the Australian attack was 'perhaps the greatest individual feat of the war.'

My thought on Anzac day

I think that it was a horrible time.They had hardly any good food, but on top of that they lived in muddy ,yuk trenches. And only a few yards away are people that were trying to kill them. And there were away from there family's for so long. And most of them were so so sick. I hope that nothing like that  ever happens again.

B for Bully Beef

For several days all ANZAC people could eat when they were at war was what they brought with them and Bully Beef. To fill people up before going to war people had to eat, some sugar,some tea and some very hard biscuits.

My Thoughts Of ANZAC

I'm glad I live today thanks to the brave ANZACs who went to war to protect NZ. We are lucky the war is over and their is peace and no battle fields. I am happy because ww3 isn't right now. If there was no ANZACs NZ may not be owned to New Zealanders and we may be slaves today. As well its good Hitler didn't take over world. Its good ww3 is not happening right now or we could be bombed any second and be killed but its not happing right now. Brayden

My Thoughts On ANZAC

Know guns, cannons, soldiers and boats.
I learnt that real ANZAC biscuits were really hard, that the Turkish didn't want to fight the New Zealander's and the Turkish put up white flags.
Thoughts I think 100 years ago it would be really different to our time,  because we have colored  pictures, gadgets/ipods, computers and tv's.

ANZAC THOUGHTS

How would you like to be stuck in the same trench for months and months, eating bully beef a salty yuck food with hard biscuits, hearing bang, crash bang, all day long. Cannons, bombs, guns and dead bodies lay everywhere. Blood yelling and friends dying. Compared to our peaceful, loving, friendly life with real food, family, friends and School.

ANZACs and Us.

On Saturday most of the children got out of bed early, put their school uniforms on (even though it was Saturday) and came down to the Anzac Oval to take part in the Winton Anzac Service.
