Exactly what ankigarg87 said :)it is also a public holiday where we all get together and have a barbeque with friends and watch the cricket :) :) a tradition many many australians proudly contribute to every year :).
Anzac Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand, and is commemorated by both countries on 25 April every year to honour members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who fought at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War I. It now more broadly commemorates all those who died and served in military operations for their countries. Anzac Day is also observed in the Cook Islands, Niue, Samoa and Tonga.
Born and raised in Australia, I cannot say that I have ever known there to be a cricket match on ANZAC Day. I do watch the football (rugby league) after the ANZAC Day parade. Ankigarg87 has it pretty well spot on, He just left out the part about the gross incompetence of Winston Churchill and the British Admiralty in landing the troops at what is now ANZAC Cove.
The landing was meant to take place further along the coast. Churchill, of course, went on to become Prime Minister of Great Britain during the Second World War.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
