About Anzac Day

ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.  25th April of each year marks the anniversary of both Australian and New Zealand soldiers landing in Gallipoli, the first major military action of the First World War.  Here are some links if you would like to know more about Anzac Day.

Cultural Portal:  Importance of Anzac Day to Australians and New Zealand
Australian War Memorial:  The Anzac Day Tradition – what is Anzac Day, why is it so special?
Anzac Day:  Anzac Day Education Information and Activities

In Australia many of us attend a Dawn Service, dawn was the original time of landing in Gallipoli.  Later in the day ex-servicemen and women meet to take part in marches through the major cities and in many suburbs or towns as well.  Commemorative Services are often held later in the day, following the Anzac Parades at War Memorials across the country.

Following are some links to various activities and crafts which might come in handy to you if you wish to teach your Children a bit more about Anzac Day.
