Stories from the ANZACs

ANZAC Day will be marked a little differently this year. We’ll be warm and cosy at home and The Last Post won’t start until you press play. But one thing will be the same – remembrance.

To help us remember those who served and understand what ‘to serve’ meant, Ryman recorded their ANZAC resident’s stories. Some are humorous, others are tragic and eye-opening, but they all offer insight into the courage, bravery, and determination required to serve.

What better way to remember than to read the memories of those who were there?

Anzac Day is one of the most important national occasions for both Australians and New Zealanders.

In 2020, for the first time in history, Anzac Day Services across New Zealand have been cancelled due to COVID-19. Even though public Anzac Services are unable to go ahead, it does not mean that the tradition of remembering and commemorating our veterans and service personnel should be cancelled too. The RSA and New Zealand Defence Force would like you to join us to remember those who given their lives for our country. This is a time to pay respect and acknowledge the many thousands of our military people who are serving or have served, who are called upon to support New Zealand in times of war, conflict and disasters. Listen to Newstalk ZB at 6:00 am on Saturday 25 April for the morning service. Stand at your letterbox, at the front door, in your lounge rooms, balconies, in your driveway. Wherever you are in the world, stand with us and take a moment to remember our fallen – but please stay within your ‘bubble’. Veterans are encouraged to wear their medals just as they would for the official public gathering.
The morning service includes:
=========================
***The Last Post
***Ode of Remembrance
***National Anthem
***Address by Hon. Ron Mark, Minister of Defence / Minister for Veterans

ANZAC is an acronym for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. To commemorate and remember those Australian and New Zealand soldiers that fought to maintain democracy and sacrifice their lives for our freedom, on the 25th day of April of every year. Also in remembrance of my grandfather-in law Pte Walter James William Ford. 102 years ago he returned home to NZ having served in the Somme.
We bake some Anzac cookies in remembrance of them. These cookies can be baked all year round too as it is New Zealand's favourite cookies. For those of you who may be interested, further details about ANZAC day can be found on the link below:
