ANZAC Day falls on the 25th April each year and originally commemorated the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces in World War One at the landings on the Gallipoli peninsula (ANZAC stands for the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps).  This year will mark 110 years since that military event and in more recent decades ANZAC Day has come to commemorate all Australian participation in military and peacekeeping operations.

In 2025, the World has never seemed so fractured. Conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, Israel and the Gaza Strip and ongoing civil wars in the Sudan, Myanmar and the Democratic Republic of Congo bring misery and suffering to millions.

ANZAC Day's message of the sacrifice and losses from war continues to be profound. Lest we forget.
