What is Anzac Day Gallipoli Turkey
?
Anzac day service, Anzac Day - 25 April
- is probably Australia's most important
national occasion. It marks the
anniversary of the first major military
action fought by Australian and New
Zealand forces during the First World
War. ANZAC stands for Australian and New
Zealand Army Corps. The soldiers in
those forces quickly became known as
Anzacs, and the pride they soon took in
that name endures to this day.
What does it
mean today ?
Australians recognise 25 April as an
occasion of national commemoration.
Commemorative services are held at dawn,
tet and join in marches through the
major cities anhe time of the original
landing, across the nation. Later in the
day ex-servicemen and women med many
smaller centers. Commemorative
ceremonies are held at war memorials
around the country. It is a day when
Australians reflect on the many
different meanings of war
Anzac
Australian Day
ANZAC is the acronym for Australian and
New Zealand Army Corps, the formation
created in December 1914 by grouping the
Australian Imperial Force and New
Zealand Expeditionary Force stationed in
Egypt under the command of
Lieutenant-General William Birdwood.
Initially the term 'Australasian Corps'
had been mooted for this force, but
there was a reluctance among both
Australians and New Zelanders to lose their separate
identities completely |

Those
heroes that shed their blood
And lost their lives
You are now lying in the soil of a
friendly country
Therefore, rest in peace
There is no difference between the
Johnnies
And the Mehmets to us where they lie
side by side
Here in this country of ours
You, the mothers
Who sent their sons from far away
countries
Wipe away your tears
Your sons are now lying in our bosom
And are in peace
After having lost their lives on this
land, they have
Become our sons as well
