ANZAC Dawn Service on April 25


By Don [email protected] | Comments: 0 | Leave a comment

The second ANZAC Dawn Service in Bermuda will be held at the Cenotaph at 6:20am on Friday, April 25.

This is the national day of remembrance for the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZACs) falls on 25 April each year. Traditionally, it commemorates the ill-fated dawn landing of troops at Gallipoli in Turkey in 1915, as part of a military campaign to open channels and capture Constantinople, an ally of Germany. 

Now, the day serves to acknowledge all ANZACs who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations and the contribution and suffering of all those who have served.  Australians and New Zealanders across the world meet at dawn each year for a remembrance service to honour this occasion.

His Excellency, the Governor, George Fergusson will be in attendance.
