ANZAC day is a public holiday for New Zealand and Australia. New Zealand and Australia only have ANZAC day. We have the 25th of April off school and most work every year because in World War One (The Great War) lots of Anzacs died and we all New Zealand and Australia should remember and honour the soldiers.
To remember World War One New Zealand and Australia celebrates the anniversary on Gallipoli on the 25th of April every year 98 years ago on the 25th of April 1915 the Anzac’s sailed and landed on Anzac Cove that is were the ANZACS war base was in world war 1.The word Anzac means Australia New Zealand Army Corps. We use the word ANZAC to remember the very special word ANZAC. The Anzacs are the brave soldiers who fought in the Great War.
In the Great World War The Anzacs battle grounds was in Gallipoli which is in Turkey. Sadly with in eight mouths from April till December 11,430 Anzacs died so that means 8709 Australia died and 2721 New Zealand died with in eight mouths. (That is very sad.) The brave soldiers had a life in the trench. I love sleeping in my warm bed and not sleeping outside in the rain, if I had to do that I think I would die!
I know all the soldiers who did not die would have lots of friends who died and I feel sorry for them.

That is a very moving post Georgia. You write from your heart and you let your feelings show. I congratulate you. I thought about having to sleep out in the rain tonight and it would be hard.
