Anzac Day

Anzac Day, 25th of April is the day of remembrance for the fallen of all wars, but specifically, it commemorates the day Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZACs) landed at Gallipoli in 1915. On this date at 5am or 6 around the Auckland region, the Anzac dawn services commence honoring the fallen soldiers from NZ and Australia that landed in Gallipoli, Turkey. They wear red poppies because the Gallipoli battlefront was covered in poppies and the red color of the poppies represents the blood of the fallen.
