About ANZAC Day

In Australia, ANZAC Day, observed on April 25th, is a national day

of remembrance honouring the sacrifices of Australian and New

Zealand soldiers, particularly those who served in the First World

War, and all those who have served in all wars, conflicts, and

peacekeeping operations. As the sun rose on 25 April 1915,

Australian and New Zealand soldiers rowed towards the shores

of Gallipoli and into history itself. Every year since, as the sun

rises, Australians gather across the nation to remember their

legacy, and the legacy of all those who have followed in their

footsteps. The name ANZAC; stands for Australian and New

Zealand Army Corps, and the soldiers in those forces became

known as ANZACs.
