To the ANZACS! *


So what is the exact nature of ANZAC day? is it a remembrance day in NZ / Oz ? A celebration of independent identity?
Is it a day of national festivity or one of a more solemn nature, ie a july 14th or a november 11th?

*Yes, Gallipoli is mostly a Commonwealth thingy of course, where it is a near mythical experience. Whereas it is more of a footnote to the French WWI experience, but we were there too.

If it is a festive day, then have one on me! If it is more about remembrance, then a salute - the ANZAC effort on the western front was most welcome. And let us not forget to commemorate the sacrifices of the peoples from the non-white parts of the empires too, the Senegalese, the Indians, others.
