ANZAC Day

ANZAC Day is celebrated on 25th April each year as a sign of remembering the brave men and women who have served Australia and New Zealand in times of war. ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. On that day Australians show their thanks to the people who have fought for Australia, specially for their heroes such as the famous Simpson and his donkey Duffy. During the First World War he put wounded soldiers on the donkey's back and helped them to the first aid tent.

During the ANZAC Day service, Aussies recite the Ode. It is special poem which is said on that day. It is also a sign of remembering the brave people who were killed or hurt in times of war. Aussies also lay flowers and wreaths at the bottom of war memorials as a way of saying that Australians have remembered these brave people.
