ANZAC - Anzac

Japanese: ANZAC - アンザック
ANZAC - Anzac
The abbreviation for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. Strictly speaking, it refers to the soldiers who participated in the landing operation on the Gallipoli (Gelibolu) Peninsula in Turkey on April 25, 1915 during World War I, but in a broader sense it includes those who participated in both World War I and II. Every year on April 25, both countries observe ANZAC Day, a public holiday, on which veterans who survived Gallipoli march under their unit flags. Daily activities are carried out by the RSL (Revolting Soldiers League), and this organization and ANZAC memorials can be found in the most remote areas of both countries, making them a focal point of right-wing sentiment.

Japanese:
オーストラリア・ニュージーランド軍団Australian and New Zealand Army Corpsの略称。厳密には第1次大戦中の1915年4月25日,トルコのガリポリ(ゲリボル)半島上陸作戦に参加した将兵を指し,広義には第1次および第2次大戦参加者も含む。毎年4月25日は両国ともアンザック・デーとして公休日で,ガリポリ生残りの老兵を中心に各戦闘参加部隊単位で隊旗を押したて行進する。日常活動はRSL(復員兵連盟)が行うが,この組織とアンザック戦没者記念碑は両国のどんな片田舎にもあり,右翼的心情の結節点となっている。
