Anzac

General term for all troops of both countries serving in World War I, particularly one who fought at Gallipoli, and to some extent in World War II. It began as a code name based on the initials of the Corps in January 1915. The term may also be used generally of any Australian or New Zealand soldier, though ‘digger’ is more usual.
