I or one of the aussies usually throws up a thread for ANZAC day every year, I thought I'd go ahead and do it this year.

Some information:

[quote:60428]ANZAC Day (25 April) is observed in New Zealand as a day of commemoration for those who died in the service of their country and to honour returned servicemen and women.

25 April is the anniversary of the landing of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps at Gallipoli in 1915. On the first anniversary of that landing services were held throughout the country in remembrance of the 2,721 New Zealand soldiers who died during the eight-month Gallipoli Campaign. Since 1916 ANZAC Day has evolved to the observance we know today.[/quote:60428]

Basically, the day means a bunch in NZ and Aussie, it's our veterans day/remembrance day type deal...

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Lest We Forget.

24th here...but I know its 25 in NZ....


Lest We Forget

Nice way to show respect annoy:


ANZAC 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).
