ANZAC Day

It's ANZAC Day in Australia and New Zealand, to remember those killed during the Gallipoli campaign in World War One, and since then in different wars.

It was a key element in the national psyche for Australia, the first time (except against Germans in New Guinea in late 1914) that Australians had fought as AUSTRALIANS, not as troops from New South Wales or South Australia, etc.
