ANZAC Day

On the 24th of April was the ANZAC day service at Milford School. ANZAC day is a day to remember the soldiers that died in the Gallipolli Peninsula,Turkey. ANZAC stands for Australian New Zealand Army Corps. At the service, a NZ army soldier came and played 'The Last Post' on the trumpet. We sang the National Anthem Of NZ then two Year 6's each made a speech. On the 25th of April was the actual ANZAC day. Most people got the day off and nearly everything was closed until 1pm. Also dawn services were held at 5am. It was 1915, World War 1 Gallipolli Peninsula,Turkey. ANZAC Troops were fighting against the German Troops near the poppy fields.
