The Ode*

%%"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."%%



The ANZAC tradition, honouring courage, endurance and mateship was established on 25 April 1915 when the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps landed on the Gallipoli Peninsula. It was the start of a campaign that lasted 8 months and resulted in some 25,000 Australian casualties, including 8,700 who were killed or died of wounds or disease.

The brave men who served on the Gallipoli Peninsula added the word 'ANZAC' to the Australian and New Zealand vocabularies and creating the notion of "ANZAC spirit".



In 1916, on the first anniversary, 25 April was officially named 'ANZAC Day' by the Acting Prime Minister, George Pearce.



The ANZAC Day tradition continues today with the focus on our veterans from campaigns in Iraq, Afghanistan and our immediate regions.



There are many ANZAC day services throughout Melbourne. If you live in the South-Eastern Goldstein region, you may be interested in attending one of the event held at the local [LINK=http://www.rslvic.com.au/]RSL Clubs:
