Anzac Day

Anzac Day is on the 25th April in New Zealand and Australia.  The rest of the world have this day on the 11 November, called Remembrance/Armistice Day.  Red poppies grew on the graves of soldiers who died in the war.  We wear poppies as a sign of respect for the soldiers who died during the War in 1915.  The red colour of the poppies is a sign of the blood that was shed by the soldiers who were wounded.  Buying a poppy goes towards a charity that helps wounded soldiers and their families.  On Anzac Day we pay respects to the people who died in the War by going to the Dawn Parade and observing a minute's silence.  Pictured below is E.S who proudly shared the medals earned by her grandad during the war.  By Rm 23
