John Monash On 25 Apr 1916, the first anniversary of the landing at Gallipoli, Monash and his men solemnly observed Anzac Day in camp at the Suez Canal. Monash distributed red ribbons to soldiers present at the first landing and blue ribbons to those who came later. The day was a special holiday completed with swimming and sports among the soldiers.
