Here's  an interesting site about Gallipoli - then and now. You get to see photos of Gallipoli in 1915 and then what it looks like today.

This is a very well-designed site about Gallipoli - with 3D capability. It's Australian but still relevant.  It's very visual and should be interesting for you. Try out all the different 'pages'. 

Here are some really simple Anzac jig saw puzzles. It's an Australian site for Australians, but they are the A in ANZAC  and the information is just as relevant for NZ.

You will be able to pick out some other words too, and recognise a few of the people in it. Watch it a few times and see if you can understand more each time.
