Good
morning world, a late start for me today as I had a horrible nights
sleep, with some strange dreams anyway here it is ANZAC Day a special
day for us Aussies.
The
25th of April was officially named Anzac
Day in
1916. 'ANZAC'
stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. On the 25th of
April 1915, Australian and New Zealand soldiers formed part of the
allied expedition that set out to capture the Gallipoli peninsula.
The
legend of Anzac was born on 25 April 1915, and was reaffirmed in
eight months' fighting on Gallipoli. Although there was no military
victory, the Australians displayed great courage, endurance,
initiative, discipline, and mateship. Such qualities came to be seen
as the Anzac spirit.
The
Anzac legend is also important because it encourages
Australians to remember the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for
their country. The legend has made such an impression on
Australians that we continue to commemorate the landing of the ANZAC
soldiers on the shores of Gallipoli on 25 April each year.
It's so important to always remember those who fought for their country.

DeleteDear Jo-Anne, I've done some reading about WWI and Gallipoli and always the writers talk about the courage of the Aussies. We need to remember what others have done for us in war. The men who send them to war are often so misguided but the men--and women now--who fight hold fast to their desire to serve. It's inspiring. Peace.
