Anzac Day is held on 25 April each year to commemorate Australian and New Zealand Army Corps soldiers who have served and died in military combat.

The date marks the landings at Gallipoli, Türkiye, during the First World War in 1915, the first major military action fought by Australian soldiers during the conflict.
