Anzac Nations: The Legacy of Gallipoli In New Zealand And Australia 1965 – 2015

Abstract

Adapted from his doctoral thesis, Rowan Light’s Anzac Nations examines the changing position of Anzac commemoration in Australia and New Zealand between 1965 and 2015.  This period opens at a time when Anzac Day attendance rates were in decline, the 50^th anniversary of the Gallipoli landings were marked by relatively limited proceedings on the peninsula and predictions that the event would pass alongside the greying veterans of Gallipoli were heard on both sides of the Tasman.
