Anzac day

According to army.gov.au “ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.
Anzac Day falls on the 25th of April each year. The 25th of April was officially named Anzac Day in 1916.

On the 25th of April 1915, Australian and New Zealand soldiers formed part of the allied expedition that set out to capture the Gallipoli peninsula. These became known as Anzacs and the pride they took in that name continues to this day”.
In lieu of the public holiday, our bloggers spent some additional time this month to ensure we were able to write a piece that will honour this important day on the calendar.

A few of our team paid our respects on Anzac day just a few days ago and was proud to lay the carefully hand made wreath we had created from pom poms. (see our picture below).
 
There is an AFL match every Anzac Day.  The team that plays are Collingwood and Essendon and it’s going to be a great game. I don't mind who wins as I like both teams. 
The first Anzac match between these sides was back on April 25, 1995.  A long time ago.  It’s going to be a great game.  I don't mind who wins as I like both teams. 
 
The first Anzac match between these sides was back on April 25, 1995.  A long time ago.   The player who is best-on-ground gets the Anzac medal.  I think it’s going to be Nick Daicos who plays for the Pies or Nick Martin who plays for the Bombers.   
They are both really good players in my opinion.

The quote of the day
“At the going down of the sun, and in the morning 
We will remember them”
Anzac Day, celebrated annually on April 25th, is a day of remembrance and tribute to the Anzac soldiers who displayed unwavering courage and sacrifice during World War I. Australia and New Zealand come together to honour these heroes with memorial services and parades.

Anzac Day Celebrations
My Grandfather on my Dads side, my Dads father, served in the WW2  in the Australian Airforce as a scientist doing scientific
work in the experimental gasses for eplosives.  There was a 
gas leak in the lab departments where they were doing the gas experiments
and he breathed in the gases and became sick with a serious respiratory lung illness.  This eventually  took is life in September 1988.  He was 72 years of age and I had just turned 13 in the August.
I really miss my Grandad and Grandma.
I hope enjoyed reading my blog
