• Saturday, 25th of April was Anzac Day. It is a
  day when we remember in a special way, all
  Australians who have died in war. People like
  Weary Dunlop and the man we call Simpson (and his
  donkey) come to mind today, but we also remember
  all those women and men who served their
  countries in war, and whose names we do not know.
• We remember this past history of war, and pray
  that in the future, Australians will work to make
  peace, not war.

• The Anzac tradition - the ideals of courage,
  determination and mateship began on 25 April,
  1915 when the Australian and New Zealand Army
  Corps landed on the Gallipoli Peninsula.

5

• It was the start of a campaign that lasted eight
  months and resulted in some 25,000 Australian
  casualties, including 8,700 who were killed or
  died of wounds or disease.

6

• The men who served on the Gallipoli Peninsula
  created a legend, adding the word Anzac to the
  Australian and New Zealand vocabularies and
  creating the notion of the Anzac spirit.
