ANZAC Day commemorates our brave soldiers killed in war and honouring returned servicemen and women. The date itself marks the anniversary of the landing of New Zealand and Australian troops (known as the ANZACs) on the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey in 1915.
Today we pause and remember them.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.
For the Fallen/Ode of Remembrance (Laurence Binyon)
