The Chief of the Australian Defence Force, Angus Campbell, has praised the great display of mateship shown by Australian soldiers, saying it is the 'essence of the Anzac Spirit'.
"Every day I see our people humbly carry out their duty with excellence and initiative, and display great mateship. This is the essence of the Anzac Spirit," he said.
"We remember and honour those who went before us from the Gallipoli landing in 1915 through to the campaigns and operations of today."
