What is Anzac day?
An annual commemoration is held on April 25th in respect and honour of those who were killed on the battlefields fighting and serving for New Zealand. The date is a mark, symbolizing the day, the Anzac’s made their landing on the Gallipoli Peninsula in 1915. ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, a name the forces took much pride upon. Anzac is the anniversary of when the first military action was taken by the forces of New Zealand and Australia during World War I. This tradition remains to this day in remembrance of the dearly loved ones lost at war.
