New lessons about old wars: keeping the complex story of Anzac Day relevant in the 21st century

The challenge in the 21st century, then, is how best to give contemporary relevance to such an epochal event.

Key Points: 
  • The challenge in the 21st century, then, is how best to give contemporary relevance to such an epochal event.
  • As part of the first world war British Imperial Forces, the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (Anzacs) landed at Gallipoli on April 25 1915.
  • The first anniversary of the landing was a day of mourning, with Anzac Day becoming a public holiday in 1922.
  • One way forward is to rethink those Anzac narratives and tropes in a more complex way.

Colonialism and class

    • The Anzac toll was just part of a staggering 46,000 “Britons” – including many from India and Ireland – who died at Gallipoli.
    • We need to teach about the Anzac sacrifice in the context of a global conflict where the magnitude of loss was horrific.
    • Focusing on imperial and class hierarchies of the time can place what happened in that broader context.

Māori and the imperial project

    • As the historian Vincent O’Malley has suggested, New Zealand’s “great war” of nation-making was actually Ngā pakanga o Aotearoa – the New Zealand Wars.
    • It’s time to teach the complexity of this past and the multiple perspectives on it.
    • That a visit to Anzac Cove is still more popular than visiting the sites of Ngā pakanga o Aotearoa is something our teaching can investigate.

Mateship and conformity

    • The “glue” of mateship – a potent combination of masculine bravery and strength with extreme loyalty to fellow soldiers – is again a contested narrative.
    • And by the 1980s, veterans were sharing their stories more candidly with writer Maurice Shadbolt and war historian Chris Pugsley.
    • At its worst, the idea of mateship was window dressing for uniformity and parochialism.

Poppies and peace

    • In the age of global environmental crisis, it can be seen as more than a symbol of sacrifice immortalised in verse and iconography.
    • The poppy also reminds us of the landscapes devastated by the machinery of war that killed and maimed people, plants and animals.
    • Anzac Day also speaks to the need for global peace and arbitration, and how war is no viable solution to conflict.
