‘We shall remember them.’
People young and old and from all walks of life make this pledge every year as they attend an Anzac Day service on 25 April to pay their respects to the brave men and women who fought for our nation’s freedom, many making the ultimate sacrifice of their very life.
Anzac Day marks the anniversary of that fateful day, 25 April 1915, when thousands of Australian and New Zealand soldiers landed on the narrow shores of Gallipoli to face their first major battle of World War I.
The steep, rugged cliffs provided little cover as the troops tried to scale them to the headlands, but our soldiers fought with tenacity, determination, courage, humour and that famous and indomitable sense of mateship – values we regard and uphold as the Anzac spirit.
Remembering the legacy of our Anzacs
Here are the locations where you and your family can gather to remember the legacy of our Anzacs and show respect for all those who have served in the Australian Defence Force, particularly those involved in other conflicts and peacekeeping activities, and those gone.
Lest We Forget.
