Remember ANZAC Day

Anzac DayANZAC was the name given to the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps soldiers who landed on the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey early on the morning of 25 April 1915 during the First World War (1914-1918).

As a result, one day in the year has involved the whole of Australia in solemn ceremonies of remembrance, gratitude and national pride for all our men and women who have fought and died in all wars. That day is ANZAC Day - 25 April. (Source)

Australians, New Zealanders and Turkish people crowded Anzac Cove in Turkey to commemorate today's 91st anniversary of the Gallipoli campaign.

Hats off to our Australian and New Zealand friends and those who have served the cause of freedom.
