Australian and New Zealand soldiers stand guard during a dawn ceremony to mark the ANZAC Day at ANZAC Cove in the Gallipoli peninsula, northwestern Turkey, early Friday, April 25, 2008.

The annual ANZAC Day ceremony remembers the forces of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps under British command who fought a bloody nine-month battle against Turkish forces on the Gallipoli peninsula in 1915.
