Anzac Day is a national day of remembrance in New Zealand and Australia that broadly commemorates all New Zealanders and Australians "who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations" and "the contribution and suffering of all those who have served." Originally 25 April every year was to honour the members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who fought at Gallipoli in the Ottoman Empire during World War I. We attended two services today - a dawn service at Burnham Military Camp near our town, and a morning service in our town, Rolleston. My husband laid wreaths at both services on behalf of Paparua Templeton RSA (Returned & Services' Association). Their wreath is the third from the left. This photo was taken at the Rolleston service.
