ANZAC+letters+home

===Anzac soldiers left NZ thinking they were going to Britain to train for battle. As many men were recent immigrants, or had British parents, this was a case of lookingforward to "going home." It wasn't until the voyage was well underway that they learnt otherwise! It took 8 weeks to get to Egypt, with their horses stowed in thehold. In the dry, arid heat they trained in hot woolen uniforms and managed to fit in a bit of sightseeing!===
