ANZAC Day

To most Australians, ANZAC Day is a very special day in the year. They celebrate it on 25 April each year. The letters stand for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.

On ANZAC day, we show our thanks to the people who have fought for our country and did their best to keep it safe and protect us. These soldiers are called Diggers. The mothers and widows of ANZACs killed in the war received a medal. A star was added to the medal for each son or daughter killed .

On this special day we wave the Australian flag to show how proud we are. Also we lay flowers and wreaths at the bottom of a war memorial as a way of saying that we have remembered these brave people .

We shouldn't forget these brave people

Lest we forget
