ANZAC day was established to honour the brave men who fought for Australia. ANZAC is an acronym for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, referring to the soldiers who landed at Gallipoli on the Turkish Aegean coast on 25 April 1915, in World War I. ANZAC Day was originally a day of remembrance for the Australian and New Zealand soldiers who landed at Gallipoli on the 25th of April, 1915. The day commemorates the bravery and sacrifice of the thousands of men who died during the eight-month occupation of Gallipoli. Subsequently, ANZAC Day has become a day of remembrance for all Australian and New Zealand soldiers who gave their lives in all wars.
ANZAC stands for Australia and New Zealand Army Corps. It is a day of remembrance for both countries to honour those who served in WW1, particularly at Gallipoli. However, it is now accepted as a day to honour all service men and women.
No Australian "celebrates" ANZAC day. We commemorate ANZAC day, meaning we remember the ANZACs who lost their lives during the Gallipoli campaign of WW1. The reason this campaign is so important to Australia is because it was where Australia's national identity was forged. Where for the first time Australia fought as its own force, therefore becoming an integral part of the Australian identity.
In Australia and New Zealand, Anzac Day is a national public holiday.
Yes. ANZAC Day commemorates the landing at Gallipoli in 1915, and Remembrance Day commemorates the official end of World War I.
both days
Australia Day, ANZAC Day, Remembrance Day
Poppies and rosemary may both be worn on ANZAC Day.
They both start with an "A" and end with "day" ;)
Normally, there are not two ANZAC Day holidays. ANZAC Day is always the public holiday. In 2011, ANZAC Day fell on the Monday after Easter, which was already a public holiday, so there was an extra holiday on the day after ANZAC Day.

Initially, it was a day of remembrance for those ANZACs who lost their lives at Gallipoli, but it has long since become a day of remembrance for all ANZACs who died in all wars.
Most ANZAC Day services are held at dawn. Others which are held later must be completed before 12:00. Note that, as ANZAC is a solemn remembrance, it is not "celebrated", but rather, "commemorated".
ANZAC Day is often written in capital letters as it is an acronym that stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. Writing it in capitals helps to distinguish it as a significant day of remembrance for the contributions and sacrifices made by these soldiers during wartime.
we have ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day because we celebrate the brave young people that fought in the war for our country. The are very brave and should be remembered and talked about for years to come.
Yes, the compound noun 'Anzac Day' is a proper noun, the name of a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand; the name of a specific thing.
