WHY DO WE CELEBRATE ANZAC DAY?
ANZAC Day is celebrated on April 25th each year in Australia and New Zealand to commemorate the soldiers from the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who fought in the Gallipoli Campaign during World War I. The day honours their courage, sacrifice, and camaraderie in the face of adversity. It also pays tribute to all ANZAC service members who have served and died in wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations. ANZAC Day ceremonies often include dawn services, marches, wreath-laying ceremonies, and the playing of bugle calls such as the Last Post and Reveille. It has become a significant national day of remembrance, reflecting on the values of courage, sacrifice, and mateship that define the ANZAC spirit.
