Anzac Day: Remembering and Honoring
Anzac Day, observed on April 25th each year, is one of the most significant national occasions in Australia and New Zealand. It commemorates the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War.
The Origins: Gallipoli Campaign
The term ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. The day marks the landing of ANZAC troops at Gallipoli Peninsula in 1915. Although the campaign was ultimately a military failure, it left a powerful legacy of courage, endurance, and mateship.
How is Anzac Day Commemorated?
- Dawn Services: Held at war memorials nationwide to remember the time of the original landing
- Anzac Day Marches: Veterans and current servicemembers participate in parades
- Moments of Silence: To reflect on the sacrifice of those who served
- Playing of The Last Post: A moving bugle call that concludes memorial services
- Wearing Rosemary: Worn as a symbol of remembrance
Symbols and Traditions
- Anzac Biscuits: Originally sent to soldiers abroad, now made and shared commemoratively
- Red Poppies: Worn as a symbol of remembrance and hope
- “Lest We Forget”: A phrase from a Rudyard Kipling poem that has become a memorial refrain
The Modern Significance
While originally focused on the Gallipoli campaign, Anzac Day now honors all Australians and New Zealanders who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations. The spirit of Anzac represents values of courage, endurance, initiative, discipline, and mateship.
Today, Anzac Day serves as a powerful reminder of the cost of war and the importance of working towards peace. It remains a deeply meaningful day for reflection and national identity in both countries.
