Thousands of Australians have attended Anzac Day marches across the country to commemorate the anniversary of the Gallipoli landings.
The marches were held in major cities and towns across Australia, with the largest march taking place in Sydney. The marchers paused at war memorials to lay wreaths and pay their respects to the fallen.
Anzac Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand, and is held on April 25th each year. The day commemorates the landing of Australian and New Zealand soldiers on the Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey on April 25, 1915. The Gallipoli campaign was a major defeat for the Allies, with over 8,000 Australian and New Zealand soldiers killed. However, the campaign is seen as a symbol of the courage and sacrifice of Australian and New Zealand soldiers, and Anzac Day is a day to remember their service and sacrifice.
The Anzac Day marches are an important way for Australians and New Zealanders to commemorate the Gallipoli landings and to remember the fallen. The marches are also a way to celebrate the courage and sacrifice of Australian and New Zealand soldiers, and to promote peace and understanding.
