ANZAC Day Parade Melbourne 2013

This March is led by veterans and serving personnel. It also includes the descendants of veterans, sometimes alongside their relatives but more often, as the men of the Second World War in particular pass on, in honour of those who served.
The 2013 ANZAC Day Dawn Service, marches and remembrance parade takes place on Thursday 25th April 2013.
ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. The soldiers in those forces quickly became known as ANZACs, and the pride they soon took in that name endures to this day.
The 25th of April marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War.
