What Is The True Meaning Of
ANZAC Day?
ANZAC Day refers to the
Australian and New Zealand Army
Corps who have fought in all wars,
including World Wars 1 and 2, the
Vietnam War, and the War in
Afghanistan. Every year, on April
25, we honour these brave service
people.

landed on the beaches of the
Gallipoli peninsula during World
War 1. Over eight months, ANZAC
soldiers faced fierce fighting, and
by the end of World War 1, over
8,000 Australians lost their lives.
