ANZAC Day

ANZAC Day is a significant day in Australia and New Zealand, celebrated on April 25th each year. It honours the brave soldiers who fought in the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) during World War I.

On this day, people gather at dawn services, which symbolise the time of the original ANZAC landing at Gallipoli in 1915. These services include moments of silence, the playing of bugle calls, and the laying of wreaths to remember those who served and sacrificed their lives for their countries.

ANZAC Day also provides an opportunity for people to reflect on the values of courage, mateship, and sacrifice demonstrated by the ANZAC soldiers. Many wear sprigs of rosemary, a symbol of remembrance, and attend marches or parades to pay tribute to veterans.

While ANZAC Day initially commemorated the soldiers of World War I, it now honours all Australian and New Zealand servicemen and women who have served in conflicts and peacekeeping missions around the world.

Overall, ANZAC Day is a time for communities to come together to remember and honour the bravery and sacrifice of those who have served their countries.
