Anzac Day ceremonies honour servicemen and women

Anzac Day ceremonies to remember service and sacrifice.

Anzac Day 2013

Anzac Day ceremonies are being held in cities and towns around Australia and overseas on 25 April to mark the 98th anniversary of the Gallipoli landings of World War I.
Australian Defence Force personnel deployed on operations overseas, including in Afghanistan and the Solomon Islands, will participate in local Anzac Day commemorations.
More than 3000 Australian service men and women are serving on operations, continuing the Anzac spirit while serving Australia’s national interests.
The sailors, soldiers and airmen and women of Australia’s Federation Guard will lead Australia’s ceremonial contingent at Anzac Day services being held at Gallipoli in Turkey, Villers-Bretonneux in France and Ypres, Belgium.
As well, thousands of past and present servicemen and women will participate in Anzac Day ceremonies being held around Australia.
Anzac Day commemorations remember the original ANZACs who died on 25 April 1915 and honour the men and women who have served in wars, conflicts, peacekeeping, disaster relief and humanitarian assistance missions.
