Anzac Day is celebrated on April 25th each year to commemorate Australian and New Zealand soldiers killed in war. It marks the anniversary of when they landed on the beach at Gallipoli Peninsula in 1915. The red poppy later became a symbol of remembrance, with people wearing them to honor those who died. When the ANZACs landed, they were taken to the wrong place and faced ready Turkish forces, resulting in many soldiers not making it off the boats. In total, over 87,000 Turkish men, 44,000 British and French, 8,500 Australians, and 2,721 New Zealanders lost their lives in the war.

remberance.

poppies to symbolize the rememberance

was the year after, the day before Anzac
day. Many poppies sold out.

sold, and 15,157 large. The poppy day
soon became very big.

4. The Landing
• When the ANZACS landed in
Gallipoli, they had been taken to the
wrong place.
• They landed on the beach instead of
where they were supposed to land.

them.
• Many soldiers didn't make it off the
boats.

Here is a poem written by Laurence Binyon:
For the Fallen
They shall not grow old, as we who 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.
