Members of the armed forces and relatives representing them march on ANZAC Day to honour those who have died in war.
ANZAC Day is a day to remember all our armed forces. The day originated in memory of 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. This particular campaign was the first opportunity for Australian troops to fight under the flag of Australia, as it was the first major battle since Federation.
Subsequently, ANZAC Day has become a day of remembrance for all Australian and New Zealand soldiers who gave their lives in all wars. In Australia and New Zealand, ANZAC Day commemorations feature solemn "dawn services", a tradition started in Albany, Western Australia on 25 April 1923. These services are held at war memorials around both countries. Marches by veterans and family members of those who have died in past wars are held in capital cities and towns nationwide, as Australians and New Zealanders honour our brave Defence Force personnel.
