ANZAC Day commemorates the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) and their first major military action at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War I. On ANZAC Day, people remember those who fought in World Wars I and II, often thinking about relatives who served. Ceremonies include a minute of silence, the playing of The Last Post bugle call, and a gun salute of 21 shots to honor those who went to war. ANZAC Day has become an important national day of remembrance in both Australia and New Zealand.
