The gray tones in the Anzacs' lives make them attractive, Cambpell said.
"A century old memories, a century of experience, revealed their complexity. They came from the city, came from the village, the young man, the old, the fear and the anger, the sadness and the joy. All of the emotions they experienced. Apart from these two, there were dozens of other people who joined the army, thousands of people died, and thousands came home injured, physically or psychologically, or both, others came home and tried to continue their lives.
They were individuals who became a collective group. But to understand their experience, we need to look at their individual stories. I advise you to investigate these stories. Turkey, New Zealand and Australia last forever what happened in this place has established a bond. At this dawn, for more than a century, we gathered from Australia and New Zealand and other cities and towns around the world to remember them. In the face of their sacrifice, we at least make this sacrifice. We will not forget. "

"The heroes who shed their blood on the lands of the distant land, here you are in the soil of a friendly country. Sleep in peace and quiet. You are sheep side by side with the Mehmetçikleriniz. The mothers who have sent their sons to war from the distant lands, have your tears rested, and your sons are in our hearts. They are in peace and will sleep comfortably in peace. After they died in this land, they became our sons."
