Anzac day

Anzac day is a day for remembering the soilders that fought in the war and also fought for our rights and country. Anzac is not just for remembering Australian soldiers it is also a remembering of New Zealand soldiers who helped us during the wars. It is polite to wear a special flower known as the poppy to show commitment to our soldiers.

Here is a story about a boy called William who joined the army at 16, leaving his mother and grandfather at a farm. William joined the army becuase he wanted to show respect to his family and save his country. He travelled to Egypt to complete complex training in the heat. Some people passed away during the heated conditions. The rest of the soldiers travelled to Europe to fight with his fellow teamates. On the way he wrote letters to his family to inform them that he was still alive. After four years of hard fought war, the guns went silent and the war ended. The final letter that William wrote was to his grandfather about how hard the war was and how proud he was of himself.

We must respect the soliders that fought for our country so on Anzac day we must pay our respect by having a minute of silence.
