Anzac Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand, and is commemorated by both countries on 25 April every year to honour members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who fought at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War I. It now more broadly commemorates all those who died and served in military operations for their countries.

Its simlar to the UK's rememberance day 11th of November.

Its worth noting that in WW1 especialy these Ozzys and Kiwi's fought and gave there lives for the liberation of Europe not because there own country was under threat. Its important not to forget the sacriface they made.
