According to the Australia War Memorial website, ANZAC is the acronym formed from the initial letters of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. This was the formation in which Australian and New Zealand soldiers in Egypt were grouped before the landing on Gallipoli in April 1915."  Later, individual soldiers were often referred to as ANZAC.  

 

We saw many war memorials scattered throughout Australia, as most towns have a memorial dedicated to those that have fallen in the two world wars.  'Lest We Forget' was a common phrase found engraved on them.  The Aussies hold veterans in high regard.
