{"product_id":"australia-remembers-7-gallipoli","title":"Australia Remembers 7: Gallipoli","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1915, Australians and New Zealanders fought in one of the most famous and defining campaigns of World War I — Gallipoli. On the rocky shores and steep ridges of the Gallipoli peninsula in southern Turkey, thousands of young men faced extreme conditions, fierce combat, and unimaginable loss. For many, Gallipoli became the moment when Australia and New Zealand “came of age,” forging their national identities in courage, sacrifice, and mateship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy was Gallipoli chosen for attack? Who were the men who volunteered to go, and what motivated them? This accessible and visually rich nonfiction book takes young readers from recruitment and training camps in Australia, to the long sea voyage to Egypt, and finally to the dramatic landing at Gallipoli.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePacked with Fast Facts and Did You Know? sections, it reveals fascinating details: from the animal mascots, such as kangaroos and koalas, brought along for comfort, to the quick-firing Lee Enfield .303 rifle capable of 20 aimed shots per minute. The book also explores common myths, the strategic challenges of the campaign, and why the Anzacs eventually withdrew. Readers will discover why 25 April became one of the most important days of national commemoration, and how the Anzac spirit continues to inspire Australians and New Zealanders today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten in clear, engaging language by one of Australia’s leading military historians, Gallipoli – Dawn of the Anzac Spirit is the perfect introduction for children aged 6–12 to understand not only the Gallipoli campaign, but also why it remains central to our national story.\u003cbr\u003eAt the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthor: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eDoctor Tom Lewis\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"publishing-details--info row d-flex\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"col-5 col-sm-5 mb-0 ps-0 publishing-details--info__type\"\u003ePublisher: Big Sky Publishing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"publishing-details--info row d-flex\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"col-5 col-sm-5 mb-0 ps-0 publishing-details--info__type\"\u003eImprint: Little Big Sky Books\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"publishing-details--info row d-flex\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"col-5 col-sm-5 mb-0 ps-0 publishing-details--info__type\"\u003ePublication Date: 26 May 2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"col-5 col-sm-5 mb-0 ps-0 publishing-details--info__type\"\u003eISBN: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cb class=\"col supply-data--value\"\u003e9781923514324\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Doctor Tom Lewis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49868576817394,"sku":null,"price":24.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/8932\/8882\/files\/Untitleddesign-2026-08-01T135605.236.jpg?v=1785563771","url":"https:\/\/flightbypaperbird.com.au\/products\/australia-remembers-7-gallipoli","provider":"Flight by Paper Bird","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
