anzac day

On the 25th of April, every year we remember all the men and servicewoman that went to war. Anzac day has been going since 1916.We hold memorial services for all the people that went to war and they march down the streets while everyone claps and cheers for them.

Early in the morning at 4.18 before the sun was up, the soldiers landed on Gallipoli beach ready to fight for our nation, unfortunately they had been spotted by someone. Once the first boat had reached the shore a bullet was fired and soon the Turks started to attack.

The Turks were in the trenches on hills, and the Anzac troops were on shore below them so the turks were firing down whilst the anzac troops were firing up.

Flanders field is where the poppies grow and where the men are buried. A poppy a symbol of regeneration and growth in a landscape that in the past was full of blood and destruction.Many young men lost their lives at war so Anzac day is a day to remember them.
