ANZAC is the name given to the Australian and New Zealand soldiers who landed at Gallipoli on April 25, 1915, where they displayed great bravery over the following eight months of fighting. ANZAC Day is now celebrated annually on April 25 to remember all Australian and New Zealand men and women who have served and died in wars. Veterans march in cities on ANZAC Day to commemorate the day and meet with old friends, while civilians use the day to be thankful for peace. The red poppy has also become a global symbol of remembrance for those who died or currently serve in wars, particularly around Anzac Day in New Zealand.
