Anzac Day 2020




Hello everyone today here it is Anzac Day which many would say is the most sacred day in the country.

Anzac Day is the solemn day of remembrance of those Australian and New Zealand Army Corps soldiers who have fought and died for their country. It is marked annually on 25 April, the anniversary of the Gallipoli campaign of the First World War.
Anzac Day in 2020 will fall on a Saturday. ... "The Public Holidays Act 2010 names Anzac Day to be observed with a public holiday on 25 April including whether it is a Saturday or a Sunday.

Is there any difference between Anzac Day & Remembrance Day?

In the modern context, remembrance day is all nations remembering all soldiers who died in all wars, whereas Anzac day is Australia remembering all Australian soldiers who died in all wars. Every country has their own day.

Remembrance Day in Australia is dedicated to Australians who died as a result of war, particularly from World War I onwards. A minute of silence is dedicated to the deceased, especially for soldiers who died fighting to protect the nation.
