''Anzacs'' (named for members of the all volunteer ANZAC army formations) was a 1985 5-part Australian television miniseries set in World War I. The series follows the lives of a group of young Australian men who enlist in the 8th Battalion (Australia) of the First Australian Imperial Force in 1914, fighting first at Gallipoli in 1915, and then on the Western Front for the remainder of the war. It follows in the wake of Australian New Wave war films such as ''Breaker Morant'' (1980), ''Gallipoli'' (1981), and precedes ''The Lighthorsemen'' (1987). Recurring themes of these films include the Australian identity, such as mateship and larrikinism, the loss of innocence in war, and also the continued coming of age of the Australian nation and its soldiers (the ANZAC spirit). ==Cast== The mini-series included Paul Hogan, of ''"Crocodile" Dundee'' fame as Lance Corporal Pat Cleary, Jon Blake (''The Lighthorsemen'') as Captain Flanagan, Andrew Clarke (TV's ''The Man from Snowy River'') as Captain Martin Barrington, and Megan Williams (TV's ''The Sullivans'') as Nurse Kate Baker.
