Anzac

Anzac Day

“At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them”. Anzac day is the remembrance of the Australians and the New Zealanders killed in war. Anzac day is very special to New Zealand and Australia.

That is why we wear the red poppy it is a symbol of war remembrance. The red poppy is like a little red flower with black pollen in the middle and a green stalk. The red poppy is like a badge you put on to show the people of War and Anzac Day. People usually put it on their collar or t-shirt.

Anzac day is on the 25th of April every year. Anzac day is a public holiday. Anzac day is on the 25th of April because it respects and shows the landing day of the Australians and the New Zealanders, at Turkey, Gallipoli, during 1915 in World War 1.

Anzac day stands for Australia and New Zealand Army Corps many have passed away from War. Including Turkish people, French people, Australian people and New Zealanders.

Anzac day is a public holiday ever since 1921. It has been 100 years now,  to date since Anzac landed in Gallipoli. Anzac day is commemorated for many years.

April the 25th is the day New Zealanders celebrate Anzac day as a nationwide special day. Anzac day is a very unique day for us to remember those who suffered and died in war.  It is the only day for everyone to come together and remember them forever.

From this day on we will never forget them! We will always remember them and keep them in our hearts!
