Anzac Day By: Faith “LEST WE FORGET”

2                                                              War is one of the most terrible things that anyone can see in their whole entire life and most people will be scarred for life. Not just physically (like losing a leg or arm or have a big scar on your face) but mentally too, because if you have a family member, friend or relative they may not tell you all the gruesome and bloody stories that you may think its cool because they‘ve been to war, got to shoot with guns and kill enemies but its not all fun and games. I mean how would you feel if you might never see everything you loved again? Or see your mates shot down beside you? “Not good would be my guess”. Archduke Francis Ferdinand Archduke Francis Ferdinand was the cause of World War 1 and the death of thousands of people all because he was assassinated at Sarajevo(sadly the assassin was never found). Kind of silly you may think but he was a well loved prince and heir to Serbian throne, and the death of him was a horrible blow to all of the people in the Serbian and Great Britain’s unity. Naturally the Serbian people suspected the Turks and then a war started called World War 1 World war 1 started on the 28th June 1914 after Archduke Francis Ferdinand was assassinated and war broke out amongst Serbia & Germany, naturally Turkey and other countries associated with Germany aided them well meanwhile Serbia called on Great Britain and the ANZACS ( Australian New Zealand Army Corps) to aid them in this horrible war. The youngest age you could be was 21, unless you were 18 or 19, you had to get permission from your parents (mainly father) but the oldest you could be was 50, so many people young and old faked their ages to go to war because they thought it was cool to shoot down Turks and kill all in sight but sadly war wasn't like that, it was very different. Use paint the thingy umm the one which u created with u and Eliza in it to show journey faith!! Remember!? HORRORS OF WORLD WAR 1

4 Australia to Gallipoli

5 Gallipoli Gallipoli was an attempt to charge down to Gallipoli and make their way through it to flank the Turks on both sides. Gallipoli is also very important to Australians, New Zealanders, Great Britain and Turkey etc. because many people’s families are buried there and grief stricken families may even cross all the way there to properly bury the family or give them a proper funeral.

6 ANZACS ANZAC means Australia New Zealand Army Corps.
It originated from New Zealand and was later voted as the official name for the Australian and New Zealand army. We commemorate ANZAC Day as a symbol of gratefulness to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for us. We commemorate ANZAC Day on the 25th of April every year to respect the soldiers who died and fought for our country. We also celebrate this occasion for that was the day that the horrors and blodshed unleashed themselves upon the poor helpless soldiers as they scrambled abroad the cold, wet salty sea lapped at their heels trudged on at ANZAC Cove (where they landed.) on the 25th of April 1915… LEST WE FORGET.

7 ANZAC Day commemoration ceremonies.
Poppies: Poppies are worn on ANZAC Day to not only represent the bloodshed at wars but also after the war poppies grew like weeds at ‘Flanders Fields’. The Ode: The Ode is a poem said in never ending respect and gratitude in the dead soldiers and basically is to say to the dead soldiers “We are sorry we took you through this horror and bloodshed. Someday we shall join you and for now rest in peace friend.. Rest in peace. The Last Post: The bugle is played to tell soldiers sunset is near and they may retire or to the death of a soldier/soldiers RIP. The call is believed to have originally been part of a more elaborate routine, known in the British Army as "tattoo", that began in the 17th century.

8 Memorials A memorial is a sacred ceremony in which people gather from everywhere on the 25th of April every single year to commemorate ANZAC Day.

9 MY OPIONIONS I myself try to go to many ANZAC Day memorials as I can but if delayed I will try to give a minute of my time to thank soldiers for their service (mentally) dead or alive. I do not know any family war stories but my sisters friend Sherman went all the way to East Timor to peace keep and help. I think that ANZAC Day is a fantastic way to learn a little bit more about not only the memorials but about the war itself because just looking at the elderly peoples faces you can tell what horrors they have experienced.

10 THANK YOU FOR LISTENING OR WATCHING, READING MY POWERPOINT.
