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.

This Ode comes from the poem, 'For the Fallen' written by the English poet and writer, Laurence Binyon and was published in London in The Winnowing Fan: Poems of the Great War in 1914. This verse has been used in association with commemoration services in Australia since 1921.
ANZAC DAY is a day of solemn remembrance for all Australian and New Zealand men and women who have fought and died in all wars. Every year on the 25 April commemorative services are held nationwide. This is a quick guide to the
