Anzac Day

Today is the 91st anniversary of Australian and New Zealand troops landing at Gallipoli in 1915. During the 8 month campaign Australians suffered 26,000 casualties, with 8,700 killed or died from injuries or disease. It has been seen as the day Australia became a nation and the Anzac as hey became known, created a legend.

Anzac Day was proclaimed and first observed in 1916 on the first anniversary of the landing.

The Anzac tradition lives on strongly with the annual dawn service and march of returned servicemen and women from pervious conflicts, along with serving personnel.

We also remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice so that we can enjoy the freedoms we do today.

Lest We Forget.
