Anzacs is a 1985 Australian miniseries. Set during the First World War, it follows several Australians as they enlist in the Australian Army, from joining up to homecoming, and the battles that made the Anzac name famous, such as Gallipoli, the Somme, Passchendaele and Hamel.
The following weapons can be seen in the miniseries Anzacs:
Bluey (Peter Finlay) carries a Lewis Gun, which he mainly uses in a support role. Other soldiers that can be seen operating the weapon are Wilhelm "Kaiser" Schmidt (Shane Briant), Sergeant Tom MacArthur (Patrick Ward) and Carter (Peter Browne.
British soldiers use a pair of Vickers Mk1 Machine Guns in a demonstration for the Anzacs when they first arrive in France. British soldiers use on to repel a German attack in Amiens.
Pat Cleary (Paul Hogan) captures a long-barreled Luger P08 "Artillery" model from a dead German in a trench raid in the Somme. He later uses it to capture several Germans in a basement tavern, mounting it on a "Broomhandle" stock similar to the one used on the Mauser C96.
Max Earnshaw (David Lynch) uses a Webley & Scott Signal Pistol to signal the success of the attack on the German bunkers at Broodseinde Ridge, Passchendaele, before he is wounded by a German shell.
Bill Harris (Johnathon Sweet), Flanagan (Jon Blake) and Dick Baker (Mark Hembrow) use the Jam Tin Grenade at Gallipoli. This improvised grenade was constructed from empty jam (or bully beef) tins packed with gunpowder or dynamite.
The main weapon of the Anzacs (including Martin Barrington (Andrew Clarke) at Gallipoli is the No 15 Grenade, before it is replaced by the Mills bomb in France. Turkish soldiers also use the No 15 Grenade.
