Anzac Day originated on April 25, 1915 to commemorate Australian and New Zealand soldiers, known as ANZACs, who fought against the Ottoman Empire in Gallipoli during World War I. Over 11,000 ANZACs died in the eight-month long campaign. Anzac Day is now a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand for those who have served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations. Red poppies are worn on Anzac Day as a symbol of remembrance because they were the first flowers to grow on the battlefields after World War I. Today, dawn services are held across both countries to honor those who sacrificed their lives.
