ANZAC Day – 25 April – is probably Australia’s most important national occasion. It marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War. ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. The soldiers in those forces quickly became known as ANZACs, and the pride they soon took in that name endures to this day.

LEST WE NOT FORGET
Speaking as an ex serviceman, from a working class aussie family , where all the males were ’servicemen’ lest we not forget, the elite of the ‘patriotic national tribe’, will always use the youthfull warrior class to protect their resources.
” A bayonet is a weapon with a working class boy at either end ,each having been told to sacrifice their earthly existence , to protect the ‘elites economic resources” .
I define the ‘patriotic national elite ‘ as , ‘ the men who sit in seats of power in the political , industrial and religious institutions of a country and make the decision to sacrifice other mens sons.
War is generally the domain of the male species ,a mother has more intelligence than to decide her sons fate on a patriotic political whim.
