ANZAC day, celebrated on the 25th of April, is probably both Australia's and New Zealand's most important national occasion. ANZAC day commemorates the New Zealand and Australian army soldiers who called themselves ANZAC's, which is the reasoning of it's name.
ANZAC day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand that broadly commemorates all NZ and Australian soldiers that served and died in all wars, conflicts, peace and the contribution and suffering of those who served.
Who started the war? What they did that could lead to war?
Lest We Forget
Here is a very famous poppy poem...
ReplyDeleteIn Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
R.i.p to the soldiers ... Keep up the good work
