Today I read 21 facts about ANZAC day. Here are 5 facts I found interesting:
1. Did you know that all the ANZACs were volunteers
2. More than 11,000 ANZACs died at Gallipoli and more than 23,500 were wounded.
3. In Tonga, Samoa, Cook Islands and Niue, ANZAC Day is also commemorated to honour their soldiers who participated in the campaign.
4. Services are held at dawn because dawn was the best time to attack their enemy. When the sun started coming up they woke up and got ready to attack.
5. ANZAC Day was not a public holiday in New Zealand until 1921.
LEST WE FORGET!
