This subject examines the ANZAC legend from its origins on the Gallipoli peninsula in April 1915 to the present, when it forms an important part of Australian national identity. Students will visit the Australian War Memorial in Canberra, where they will begin their exploration of the events that led up to the battle with a guided study of the museum's collections, and speak with members of the RSL and the Australian War memorial staff about how and why the ANZAC legend has changed over time. Students will have an opportunity to examine materials at the State Library of Victoria as well as access the War Memorial's extensive collections to gather information for their research essays. In Turkey, students will visit the Gallipoli Peninsula Peace Park, war cemeteries, and nearby Turkish monuments and memorials to gain a full understanding of the battle itself and the contemporary Turkish attitude to the conflict. We will also ask what such sites tell us about how events are remembered and how myths are created. Particular attention will be paid to the ancient and archaeological context of the Dardanelles region (especially the nearby site of Troy), and to the emergence of the conflict between the Ottoman Empire and the British and their Allies.
