ANZAC Cove is a small cove on the Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey, which became famous as the landing place for Australian and New Zealand troops during the First World War. The name "ANZAC" stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.

On April 25, 1915, the ANZACs, along with British and French troops, landed at Gallipoli in an attempt to open up the Dardanelles Strait and gain access to the Black Sea. The ANZACs were tasked with securing the beachhead at what is now known as ANZAC Cove. The landing was heavily opposed by the Turkish defenders, and the ANZACs suffered heavy losses.

Despite the difficult landing, the ANZACs managed to hold on to their position at ANZAC Cove for eight months, until they were finally evacuated in December 1915. The campaign at Gallipoli was ultimately a failure, with over 130,000 casualties on both sides.

Today, ANZAC Cove is a popular tourist destination and a site of pilgrimage for Australians and New Zealanders, who gather there every year on April 25 to commemorate ANZAC Day and to remember the sacrifices made by their ancestors during the First World War.
