ANZAC Day commemorates the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZACs) and their first major military action at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War I. It is a solemn day of remembrance for those who fought and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations. ANZAC Day is commemorated annually on April 25th through events like dawn services, marches, and wearing a red poppy. While originally celebrated through marches and ceremonies, today many Australians and New Zealanders commemorate ANZAC Day through attending dawn services or ceremonies at war memorials.
