In 1915, Horseferry Road in Westminster, London became a
home away from home for the ANZACs. When it came time for British soldiers to
go home after Gallipoli, it was easy for them to reach home. But for the
ANZACs, it was not as simple.

That is why Horseferry Road became known as such
a historically Australian place, because it was designed as a place for the
ANZACs to not feel so far from home, and create a community for themselves. It
was a place that was lined with shops that were familiar to the Australian
soldiers, and it was filled with people wearing slouch caps and speaking with
familiar accents.
