ANZAC Day is on 25th April each year. The letters stand for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps and the soldiers were known as Anzac. It originally commemorated the members of Australian and New Zealand Army Corps who fought at Gallipoli in the Ottoman Empire during World War I. Now it more broadly commemorated the soldiers who served and died for their counties.
On ANZAC Day, we show our thanks to the people who fought for our country and ceremonies are held in towns and cities. People usually leave flowers and wreaths at the bottom of war memorials as a way of saying they remember those people who have died in the war.
