Anzac Day
Posted by Nancy on May 3, 2007
On the 25th of April, Anzac day occurs. Anzac day is to remind us about the courage and the sacrifice the Australian and New Zealand soldiers made at war. ANZAC stands for Australian New Zealand Army Corp and is probably one of Australia’s most important national occasions. The Anzacs fought in gallipoli (in Turkey) and many Australian soldiers were killed.
On Anzac day, which is a public holiday in most parts in Australia and New Zealand, people brings flowers and such to memorials or graves to those soldiers. It is traditional that we turn and face west, to where the sun sets, and have a one-minute silence remembering them or thanking them (in your mind).
lest we forget..
