The ANZAC acronym came from the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, formed in Egypt prior to the Gallipoli Campaign during the First World War.〔 The corps was the higher formation for all Australian and New Zealand soldiers. It then gave its name to ANZAC Cove, on the Gallipoli peninsula, and at first was only used to identify the men who took part in the Gallipoli landings, although it later came to mean "any Australian or New Zealand soldier of the First World War."〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Australian War Memorial )〕 Both the 'ANZAC' and the 'Anzac' versions of the acronym have been protected by the Commonwealth Government of Australia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Australian Government )〕 The acronym was used during the war by the I ANZAC Corps and the II ANZAC Corps in Egypt and later on the Western Front. Then there was the 1st (ANZAC) Wireless Signal Squadron, which served in the Mesopotamia Campaign.〔 The Australian and New Zealand Mounted Division〔Falls 1930 Vol. 1 p. 156〕 formed in March 1916 also made use of the acronym. The division's name was abbreviated to the A. & N. Z. Mounted Division,〔Bou, p.150〕 to the ANZAC Mounted Division,〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Australian War Memorial )〕 and to the Anzac Mounted Division by the Australian official history,〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Australian War Memorial )〕 and the New Zealand official history.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Victoria University of Wellington Library )〕 Also serving alongside the ANZAC Mounted Division in the Egyptian Expeditionary Force was the ANZAC Provost Police Corps,〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Australian War Memorial )〕 the 1st (ANZAC),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ANZAC Mounted Division Administrative Staff, Headquarters January 1917 )〕 3rd (ANZAC),〔 and 4th (ANZAC) Battalions, Imperial Camel Corps Brigade.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Australian War Memorial )〕 The acronym was not inclusive. One formation that had troops assigned from both Australia and New Zealand, during the war, and did not use it was the 5th Light Horse Brigade.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Te Ara )〕 ==References== ;Footnotes ;Citations ;Bibliography * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ANZAC (acronym)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
