The best way to get to know a country is to learn about it first. April 25 is ANZAC DAY. For Australians, it's not just a public holiday, it's more of a historically heavy holiday.
The ANZAC DAY commemorates the Australian and New Zealand Allied Forces (ANZAC).) who died in the Garipoli War during World War I on April 25, 1915.
The war lasted eight months, with more than 8,000 Australian soldiers killed and more than one hundred thousand injured.
Now the memorial is for all veterans, and it honors many Australian veterans. Anzac DAY is more of a memorial than a celebration.
This year's ANZAC DAY, Adelaide will include the following activities:
State RSL ANZAC Eve Youth Vigil
