About this listen

In this first part of a three-part conversation, Making Sense of Anzac, Nick Eckstein and Brad Manera go back to the very beginning. Where does the word 'Anzac' come from, and what does it mean? How and why did soldiers from Australia and New Zealand find themselves on the beaches and dunes of the Dardanelles in 1915? Why were Australians involved in the Great War at all? And how did the campaign at Gallipoli go so disastrously wrong?

Host: Nick Eckstein

Guest: Brad Manera

Series Producer: Peter Adams
