Thread Name: BS: ANZAC Day
Subject: RE: BS: ANZAC Day
For our international friends ANZAC stands for, Australian & New Zealand Army Corps. The 25th April was the day they stormed ashore at Gallipoli and is now a national day of rememberance & public holiday here in Oz and NZ.
I was up at 5.30am to attend the Dawn Service and then marched with my fellow veterans at my local RSL club ( veterans club ) at 10.00am. All very moving and , once again, concentrates the mind on the waste of war.
Us ANZACS certainly got around, there are war cemetaries full of us all over the world.
