EIGHTY-seven years after the Gallipoli landing in 1915, the ADF has commemorated this nation-building event in moving services throughout Australia and the world.

Serving as part of the Coalition against Terrorism, SASR troops gathered alongside New Zealand, British and American soldiers to remember the Anzacs.

Sgt Andrew Russell, who was killed in action while patrolling in the troubled nation in February, was the last name to be read on the SASR Roll of Honour in Afghanistan.

Australian and New Zealand troops serving with the UN Peacekeeping Force in East Timor gathered at dawn beneath the Jesus Statue in Dili, marking what was truly a celebration of the Anzac spirit with the two nations serving together once more.

In PNG, those servicemen and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom were remembered at the Bomana War Cemetery in Port Moresby (significant with 2002 being the 60th anniversary of the battle for the Kokoda Track).

In the Sinai, a small contingent of Australian soldiers serving as part of the Multinational Force and Observers in the region commemorated Anzac Day where it all started - Gallipoli.

At RMC, the 60th anniversary of the Fall of Singapore and the captivity of more than 22,000 Australians were remembered at the National Prisoner of War memorial chapel.
