Anzac Day (AU & NZ) in 2025 Anzac Day HistoryAnzac Day is a day to honour those who have served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations. It is a deeply valued and significant occasion that commemorates the sacrifices made by the military personnel and reflects on their selfless service to their countries. Above all, Anzac Day promotes a sense of unity and national pride, as well as an opportunity for people to express their gratitude and respect for the brave servicemen and women. The origins of Anzac Day date back to the Gallipoli Campaign during the First World War, where Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) landed on the shores of the Gallipoli Peninsula on April 25, 1915. This day, now known as Anzac Day, marked the beginning of a brutal yet vital campaign for the Allied forces. Despite the tragic loss of thousands of lives, the enduring spirit and courage of the ANZAC soldiers left an indelible imprint, laying the foundations for a legacy that continues to be observed and honoured by Australians to this day. Anzac Day is traditionally observed with a series of commemorative events and ceremonies held throughout Australia. The day usually commences with the Dawn Service, a solemn and poignant ceremony at the break of dawn. This event, attended by thousands of people each year, reflects the elements of military routine when soldiers were woken up early to stand guard against potential enemy attacks. Following this, war veterans, current service members, and their families take part in the Anzac Day Parade, marching in unison through major cities as a tribute to the fallen. Anzac Day occurs annually on April 25th. Top facts about Anzac Day
