The Legend of ANZAC !

The Legend of ANZAC – and what you can find!

The 25th of April was officially named Anzac Day in 1916 to mark the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War. This year we remember the 100th anniversary of the landing at Gallipoli in 1915. Today Anzac Day is a way of remembering all Australians who have been killed, wounded or served in military operations throughout history.

Please share your thoughts or retell/s of what you did on ANZAC day to remember this special event.

    Anzac day stands for Australian New Zealand Army Corps. Anzac day is a day where we celebrate and remember the Australian and New Zealand soldiers that have past away. I realized that alot of soldiers gave up their lives for us.

    Last Saturday my family friends and my family went to a dawn service at oatley and the dawn service went for half an hour. One of the Army men played the last post and we had to be silent for 2 minutes. After the service was finished they were selling breakfast for free but we didn't go there we went to the pub and the food there wasn't nice so we went back to to the sausage sizzle and had some food there and went to the park

    Anzac day was named in 1916 and stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. Anzac day is on the 25th of April.The Anzacs landed in Gallipoli right in the morning and most people died by the Turkey when they landed by ship.
