Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) in Egypt, 1914-1919

Entessar Gharieb

The acronym "Anzac" refers to the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, which arrived in Egypt to train, defend the Suez Canal from Ottoman attacks, and get ready for the various fronts of the battle in Palestine, Iraq, France, and the Dardanelles. The study offered ANZAC in Egypt 1914-1919, their camps, weapons, military uniforms, training, and divisions: infantry, cavalry, transport, engineers, flying corps, artillery, navy, intelligence, Anzac provost corps, medical services, etc. The research reviewed the reasons for the riots carried out by ANZAC, who were suffering from venereal disease, picked up from prostitutes in the brothels, and the procedures to discipline them, in addition to their mistreatment of the Egyptians, despite their cooperation with them in some situations and the participation of the Egyptian army and the Egyptian labour corps in the war. ANZAC achieved victories over the Ottomans in Sinai and the Senussi in the Western Desert, but the Gallipoli campaign in April 1915 was considered a great Ottoman victory. It was often considered the beginning of Australian and New Zealand national consciousness.
