We also have remembrance day but Anzac day is by far the most important. The dawn service is done in every community all over Oz and even in suburbs people go out and stand in front of their house for the minutes silence rather than go to the whole service but still want to show respect to all service men and woman.
The Gallipoli campaign was the first time Australian soldiers fought as Australians. We had become our own country just 14 years earlier. It was the baptism by fire of a young nation. The Turkish people also respect the Anzacs to this day which is rare for former enemies
As others have noted, Australia and New Zealand commemorate both ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day. Most of the world commemorates 11th November, as the time when WWI officially ended (the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the 11th month)
There is also a ceremony held at all capital city memorials. I know because I attended one in the 60s. Our school sent 20 students and other schools also sent pupils. There was seating outside the war memorial in Melbourne, a service was held, then the bugle was played, followed by a minutes silence. We then solemnly passed through the hall and witnessed the sun on the tomb below.
Australia does Remembrance Day on Nov 11th at 11:00am. Anzac Day 25th April is a public holiday, Dawn Services includes all military and ex-military marches which concludes with drinks at the RSL, and the only day it is legal to play "Two-up" in public. We use poppies on both days, but Anzac Day we also have Rosemary and the Gallipoli Rose.
It is illegal internationally as well. Australia and New Zealand applied to the UN to get the word ANZAC protected, and it was granted, so any company in the world that makes any product using the word ANZAC Can be taken to the International Court. In Australia both the name ANZAC biscuit and the recipe is protected. There is a $10,200 fine for individuals, and $51,000 for companies that call them ANZAC cookies, or who change the recipe. You have to apply to the government to make any ANZAC biscuits for sale, and the government, if giving approval, provides the recipe that is required to be followed exactly. In case you think that no one gets fined, there have been at least two fast food places in the past few years that got into trouble over products they sold. One was putting "ANZAC biscuit pieces" into ice cream and calling it ANZAC Bikkies. A big disrespectful and illegal no-no. They played the "I'm a dumb American company, so didn't know" card but it didn't prevent them from losing a lot of money withdrawing product from sale, and disposing of it respectfully.
My Great Grandfather served and fought with the 5th Light Horse Brigade under British command in the Second Boer War, South Africa 1901. Born in Gippsland Victoria, he became a reputed horse breaker and following the end of the Boer War he was retained and sent to India, breaking horses for the British army regular mounted Infantry. He returned to Australia and on the outbreak of WWI requested to serve with the 5th, but was instead deployed to oversee the Maribyrnong Remount Depot west of Melbourne. The remount depot broke in and prepared thousands of wild brumbies for deployment in the Middle East and later in the war Europe. Out of the 120,000 horses shipped to the war, Only one single horse was brought back to Australian shores. "Sandy" was the mount of Major General Sir William Bridges. Bridges was killed at Gallipoli, but as per his dying request that his horse be sent home, Sandy was returned to Australia and saw out his days in retirement back at the depot and now the family pet. I've photos of my Grandmother on Sandy's back as a little girl. The head of Sandy is preserved and kept in the Australian National War Memorial/Museum in Canberra.
Lest we forget! 😪 This important day is also commemorated around the world on the same day, particularly in France and Turkiye, in gratitude and respect to our soldiers! Yes, Gallipoli was our first official engagement!
As well as Anzac Day on the 25th of April and Remembrance Day on the 11th of November we also have Vietnam Veterans Day on the 18th of August, although it is usually only observed by those who served there and their families. It commemorates the battle of Long Tan. My late husband was a tunnel rat in Vietnam and my grandfather was a dispatch rider in France in WW1 so I go to the Dawn Service every year. With my sprig of rosemary pinned to my lapel.
My brother in law had to attend church parade every 18th of august, he joined up a few years after long tan, he ended up in D company 6RAR. He was not happy about having to attend church parade on his birthday every year. My sister divorced him, then she married a bloke who was in 7troop and a tunnel rat, he passed away from throat cancer a few years ago now. May he rest in piece.
We go to the service held in our local park. It used be held at the War Memorial by the suburban rail station, but protests about interrupted traffic (!!!!) put an end to that. Some speeches by local dignitaries, wreathes and flowers laid them and by many of those attending. Last Post, the Silence and Reveille. Final words, the official party heads off to another service a couple of suburbs further south. In the meantime, similar services are held starting at the southern end of the municipality and head north. Both official parties meet at a memorial at the centre for the main service. Covid at its height put an end to this pattern. Instead of the gathering, people stood at their gates with candles at 6 am. In our small street, one of the young fellows was in the cadet band at school - he brought a bugle home to play the Last Post and Reveille for us. It was very moving.
Anzacs incorrectly sent to heavily guarded Gallipoli instead of a lesser place British officers to whom Anzacs were seconded treated them as expendable colonials Check out WW1 last recorded cavalry charge in wartime at Beersheba Palestine against British orders Stories WW2 of el Alamein Tobruk Australian general Morshead outfoxed Rommel in N Africa
Wrong. The first landings were (accidentally) at North Beach and were uncontested. Units actually penetrated inland without resistance but eventually a small force of Turkish soldiers stopped and fought which gave our troops the impression they were a larger force. We stopped advancing which allowed time for the Gallipoli beachhead to be reinforced and the stalemate ensued. Had we pushed on, the outcome may have been different. Gallipoli as we know it was actually the beachhead created to bring the main force and supplies ashore after the initial landings. It's also easy to forget that the British forces that landed at Cape Hellas were killed in even greater numbers than our soldiers. They too were slaughtered. It would serve you well to do some research.
Yes we also commemorate Remembrance day here on 11th November..but to us in AUstralia and our brave brothers New Zealand ANZAC Day is held close to our hearts. We were very young nations at the tome WW1 broke out and yet thousands answered Britians call for help, the many troops who left Gallipoli were then rested and sent to the front in Europe and North Africa, the famous Light Horse and New Zealand Mounted Rifles Regiments finally freed of Incompetent and often hated British Commanders finally came under Australian and New Zealand commanders. The Light Horse Regiment famously captured Beersheba and its valuable water wells where they mounted one of the last full frontal cavalry charge with fixed bayonets in WW1. TY for sharing with your viewers the story of the brave forever joined in brotherhood ANZAC's Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘❤❤
Yes its a public holiday and people still line the streets for the soldiers to march down Many families take their children as a lesson on their sacrifices for what we have today We are a small population just reached 26 million Back then im not sure how many there was but 10,000 lose of young healthy men affected our country progression Almost every family that was born here have lost atleast one person from their families So its a very important day to the majority of people as usual these days some appose it and don't understand it like normal We also have a remembrance day as well 11 day 11 month of the 11 hr we stop what ever we are doing for a minute silence Even radio stations stop But because alot of new people they don't believe in it as some are owned by overseas they don't stop or new migrants Many Aussie get upset as business are owned as well by foreign companies and tried stopping it But us Aussie's are stubbon and still stopped under threat of our jobs hences the companies now allow the minute silence Because they wouldn't have a work force and where i worked if you decided to work that minute you soon learnt not a good idea As the Aussie's soon let you know to shut your mouth for the minute We try to teah all new Australians our traditions and you soon learn who are here for the country or the money 💵 They soon get frozen out very quickly but not just migrants some Australians as well But the good part is most new Australians when you exsplain actually want to help keep the traditions and adopt the celebration As without these people their taught you wouldn't have this country to migrant to so i their interests to understand and celebrate as well and all official ceremonies end ind less we forget and resighted by everyone in attendance they play the last post at both ceremonies even on the radio Cheers mate 🦘🇦🇺👍
My paternal grandfather served in WW1 and WW2, (and his father served in the Boar War). My father served in WW2 and Korea. Many Australian families (and New Zealand), served in these wars, many died, and when you consider our very small populations at the time, the death tolls were significant. Lest we forget.
We have Remembrance Day on Nov 11th. Australia stops on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th months because that is when the war was over. ANZAC Day is different and many Australians travel to Gallipoli each year for the dawn service. Almost every town here has a Returned Soldiers Club or RSL Club. I worked in a huge one when I was 19 and every single evening at mostly 6.00pm, depending where you live. The lights dim, everyone stands and face the flame and the Ode is said. Followed by one minutes silence and the last line, Lest We Forget is said. This is the Ode. They shall grow not old, As we that are left grow old, Age shall not weary them, Nor the years condemn, At the going down of the sun, And in the morning, We will remember them…..Lest We Forget. Now it covers all those who fought in all wars. No other Country gave or lost as many men per Capita as Australia did in WW1. We will always remember them all.
Yeah, Nov 11, we remember that day in Australia as well (although it's not a public holiday) Nov 11 is "Armistice Day" it's the day the shooting stopped in WW1. We remember it with a minutes silence at 11:00 a.m. wherever we are. (11:00 a.m. was the time the armistice (the ceasefire) was in effect) Whereas Nov 11 is the day the shooting stopped, ANZAC day commemorates (pretty much) the other end of that war, the (failed) invasion of Turkey (yes Gallipoli) by Australian and Kiwi forces who were used as cannon fodder by the British High Command. Seeing as the Australian Colonies had only been a Country for about 13 years at that point, it was the first time we had fought an action as an independent Country and we got our hats handed to us (once again because of the British) They landed the Anzac forces on the wrong beaches and they pretty much stayed on those beaches (or very close by) for 8 months or so before being evacuated to Europe where they served with distinction.
Another thing is Australia had a small population and its been said we lost a generation of young men which was a huge blow for our small nation. Anzac biscuits were created to put into soldiers ration bag and sent to our soldiers, they needed something nutritious but wouldn’t go mouldy
"The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own." - Aldous Huxley
Check out "who" was a significant influence in deciding on the Gallipoli campaign. Winston Churchill, he ignored strong opposition to this campaign and under resourced it. Also, check out what the ANZACs developed to hide their evacuation from the Turks. Which resulted in almost no casualties. The Dawn Service at Gallipoli is something to see, and if able to participate in.
Interesting regarding the withdrawal. The Turks say they knew we were going but were happy to let us go. After all, we invaded their country, all they wanted was us gone. Mission accomplished. When you think about it that makes sense as they could easily see what was happening from their vantage points overlooking the beachhead. It wouldn't have been possible to do it in complete secrecy. Turkey never wanted the war but bore our troops no personal ill will as long as we left, which we ultimately did.
Anzac Day is like USA Veterans Day. Not sure if Canada has an equivalent Here its a public holiday. We also have Remembrance Day but isnt a public holiday

I can’t help but think, if I had to explain Anzac day to a group of children, the video you’re reacting to is what I’d have them watch.

Its illegal in Australia to sell or market ANZAC BISCUITS as ANZAC COOKIES . Its all about respect .
It is illegal internationally as well. Australia and New Zealand applied to the UN to get the word ANZAC protected, and it was granted, so any company in the world that makes any product using the word ANZAC Can be taken to the International Court. In Australia both the name ANZAC biscuit and the recipe is protected. There is a $10,200 fine for individuals, and $51,000 for companies that call them ANZAC cookies, or who change the recipe. You have to apply to the government to make any ANZAC biscuits for sale, and the government, if giving approval, provides the recipe that is required to be followed exactly.
In case you think that no one gets fined, there have been at least two fast food places in the past few years that got into trouble over products they sold.

Australia also has Remberance day in November
ON 11TH nOV AT 11AM. The whole of Australia stops for two minutes in SILENCE
It's the only day you can legally play "two up", how does that not get a mention 😮

Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘❤❤
There were Canadians at Gallipoli too.. in a different area…
Yes its a public holiday and people still line the streets for the soldiers to march down
Many families take their children as a lesson on their sacrifices for what we have today
We are a small population just reached 26 million
Back then im not sure how many there was but 10,000 lose of young healthy men affected our country progression
Almost every family that was born here have lost atleast one person from their families
So its a very important day to the majority of people as usual these days some appose it and don't understand it like normal
We also have a remembrance day as well 11 day 11 month of the 11 hr we stop what ever we are doing for a minute silence
Even radio stations stop
But because alot of new people they don't believe in it as some are owned by overseas they don't stop or new migrants
Many Aussie get upset as business are owned as well by foreign companies and tried stopping it
But us Aussie's are stubbon and still stopped under threat of our jobs hences the companies now allow the minute silence
Because they wouldn't have a work force and where i worked if you decided to work that minute you soon learnt not a good idea
As the Aussie's soon let you know to shut your mouth for the minute
We try to teah all new Australians our traditions and you soon learn who are here for the country or the money 💵
They soon get frozen out very quickly but not just migrants some Australians as well
But the good part is most new Australians when you exsplain actually want to help keep the traditions and adopt the celebration
As without these people their taught you wouldn't have this country to migrant to so i their interests to understand and celebrate as well and all official ceremonies end ind less we forget and resighted by everyone in attendance they play the last post at both ceremonies even on the radio
Cheers mate 🦘🇦🇺👍
At 6>52 just as the guy says "soldiers from Australia" they show a soldier from New Zealand
That' poor production values
Thanks, really great job about a difficult subject

Remembrance day or Armistice day 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month is red poppy day but it is also worm on Anzac day

Australians travel to Belgian, northern France and Gallipoli to commemorate Anzac Day
