Te whakaekenga o Karipori

Ka hia mano ngā hōia o te ANZAC i hinga i te horanga o tēnei parekura nui.

I te 25 o Āperira, e 4000 ngā hōia o Niu Tīreni, e 20,000 ngā tāne o Ahitereiria ka tau ki te whenua ki Gabe Tepe (i muri mai ko Anzac Cove te ingoa) i te Kūrae o Karipori. Ko te ingoa o tēnei ope ko te Australia New Zealand Army Corps (Anzacs).

Mai i te marama o Pepuere, kua ngana tētahi terenga manuao ki te huaki i te ara wai o te Dardanelle, engari, kāre i kitea te kaha o te ope taua o Ottoman. Nā wai, ka tukuna te ope taua o ngā Anzac me ētahi atu Ope Haumi ki te kōkiri i te whenua.

Ko tā rātou whāinga nui he patu i ngā pū me ngā pā o ngā Ottoman i te kūrae. Kātahi ka kuhu mā te moana o Dardanelles kia riro i a rātou te taone matua o Ottoman, arā, ko Constantinople. Mā tērā, ka tautuku te iwi o Ottoman ki raro.

Heoi anō, e ono wiki noa iho rātou e takatū ana mō tēnei kōkiringa matua. He parekura te otinga atu. Ahakoa te māia o ngā taua, ka kore rātou i toa nā ngā hē o ngā tianara. He mano hōia i hinga i te rā tuatahi noa. Kāre e roa, ka hua mai he tumu, ka tahuri ngā taha e rua ki te pakanga mai i ngā awakeri. He rite tonu ki ngā pakanga i te Pae o te Uru.
