Another topic has been done for Social Studies called "ANZAC" which stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. The ANZAC fought in World War One also known as The Great War. What we had to do was to research about what happened to them, the importance, and why it should be remembered.
The 25th of April was the day when the ANZAC or the Australia and New Zealand Army Corps landed at the Gallipoli Peninsula. Therefor since then, this date has been an official date to remember and show respect to the ANZAC. It is important to remember this day because a lot of them has sacrificed and lost their lives for the Great War.
ANZAC day is not only celebrated in New Zealand but also in other countries who also fought in the war. "The Last Post", this is the song that we use to show our remembrance and respect to those who lost their lives in the battle.

Hi Janel, I have enjoyed reading this blogpost because of its simplicity. It has directed a message that you were conveying in a efficient way. I liked how you have given a slight information about its history from the war. I have a question, are there any other countries that have used this aside from the British Empire?
