ANZAC DAY

The 25th of April each year, Australians commemorate ANZAC DAY. They remember the brave men and women who have served Australia in times of war.

The word ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. The soldiers were called diggers because they were good at digging the land to protect themselves against their enemies.

Simpson was a brave person from World war I. He had a Donkey called Duffy. He carried injured soldiers on the back of his donkey to secure places.

On Anzac day, Australians show their thanks to the people who fought for this country. Families go to the march in their towns wearing ANZAC badges and waving Australian flags.

The Ode is a part of a special poem that is said during the ANZAC DAY service and people reply it with these words: "Lest we forget"
