Anzac-Day-Event-2019

Anzac Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand that broadly commemorates all Australians and New Zealanders “who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations” and “the contribution and suffering of all those who have served”.

Observed on 25 April each year, Anzac Day was originally devised to honour the members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who served in the Gallipoli Campaign, their first engagement in the Great War (1914–1918).

We give thanks to all of those brave women and men that serve in our defence forces and emergency services all over the world to keep us safe and to enjoy the freedom we often take for granted.

Lest we forget.
