About this listen

 Australia's Ambassador to Turkey delivers the commemorative address at the Anzac Day dawn service at Gallipoli, marking 111 years since Anzac troops landed on these beaches during the First World War. The address recounts the story of Private George Roy Irwin, one of more than ten thousand Anzacs who died during the Gallipoli Campaign, and his parents' twelve-year search for answers about their missing son. The speech emphasises the shared sacrifice of all nations involved in the conflict, including Turkey, and reflects on how the relationship between Turkey, Australia and New Zealand has been built on remembrance, respect and recognition of shared humanity.
