The Weekend was full of Commemoration services across the country, marking the 100th year since the Gallipoli campaign. Tens and thousands of people attended Dawn services, parades and events held to remember those who fought for New Zealand and Australia millions of miles from home.
It was estimated by the Department of Culture and Heritage that around 40,000 people attended the early morning Dawn service at the newly-opened Pukeahu National War Memorialin Wellington. With many of those remembering being National Service Men and Woman from around the country.

    Hi Liam, that is a great little article. 40,000 people is an awful lot of people! I wonder how many turned up to the dawn parade that you were involved in ... do you know?

    Hi Liam, I enjoyed reading your informative article on Anzac Day. Many people in many countries were involved in services to remember those brave people. Did you learn lots at the service you went to?
