Lest We Forget
On 25th April each year, dawn services
are held in all towns and cities, even the
very small townships, no matter how
few residents, honour the men who
fought in all wars.
For the Fallen
They shall not grow old,
As we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them,
Nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun,
And in the morning,
We will remember them.
by Laurence Binyon
The youth of Australia and New Zealand take part in the annual march of "Remembrance"
through City Streets, many wearing the medals of their Grandparents, who can no
longer join their comrades.
Gallipoli Beach
At Gallipoli, men from all backgrounds and classes from the newly federated
Australia created the essence what it means to be Australian - courage under fire,
grace under pressure, giving a hand to a mate.
It was at this ill-fated campaign that the Australian Nation became of age.

Facts about ANZAC's
ANZAC is an abbreviation for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.
April 25, Anzac Day, was the day the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps
landed on the Gallipoli Peninsula in 1915.
The ANZACS were on the Gallipoli Peninsula for only 8 months, around
8,000 of them died there.
There is no town called "Gallipoli". It is the name of an area.
ANZACs were all volunteers.
The first dawn service on an ANZAC Day was in 1923.
