Australians across the country rose at dawn on Saturday, 25 April to mark Anzac Day, commemorating the 111th anniversary of the Gallipoli landings before participating in the annual Anzac Day parades. This year’s commemorations in Sydney and Melbourne again saw participation from the Nepali-speaking community led by the Brigade of Gurkhas, including serving members of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and former members of the Nepali Army (NA). SBS Nepali spoke to participants, including veterans, their families, and other community members and leaders who took part in the parades, about the present-day conflicts around the world and the ongoing impact of war.
