Anzac Day commemorative package

 

We commemorate Anzac Day on 25 April. This date is the anniversary of the day Australian and New Zealand soldiers landed on the beaches of Gallipoli in 1915 as part of the Allies' invasion. We recognise more than 1.5 million people who have served Australia in all conflicts, wars and peace operations. It's also a time to remember some 103,000 Australians who lost their lives while serving.

We posted a commemorative pack of these resources to schools, ex-service organisations and other associations across Australia. You can print the posters and explore the content online.
