Thursday 25th April 2024. Lest we forget. 

Anzac Day is a holiday observed on April 25 each year in Australia and New Zealand to honor war veterans. The first Anzac Day was commemorated on April 25, 1916, one year after troops from those two countries landed at the Gallipoli Peninsula in what is now Turkey during World War I.

The acronym ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, whose soldiers were known as Anzacs. Anzac Day remains one of the most important national occasions of both Australia and New Zealand.
