8 Thursday April 22 2021 Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz LEST WE FORGET ANZAC DAY SUNDAY APRIL 25, 2021 Remembering our Anzacs “The darkness, calm and chill of the early morning; the sound of the single tap of the drum of the parade; the emotionless faces of the catafalque guard, and the mournful notes of Last Post sounded by a lone bugler, combine to give a feeling of deep solemnity. It is the intensity of the symbolism which contributes to its powerful impact upon participants; indeed what underlies its popularity. In a country with few public rituals, the Dawn Service continues to provide a sense of occasion as a meaningful ritual of remembrance.” rsa.org.nz Every year Anzac Day is observed on April 25 by communities throughout New Zealand and Australia to remember those who have served and those who lost their lives in war. The term ANZAC is the acronym for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, and was first used in World War 1. These groups of soldiers back then were known as ‘the Anzacs’. Anzac commemorations may consist of one or more ceremonies – one at dawn (timed to coincide with the initial landings at Gallipoli by Australian troops who were the first ashore) and/or one later in the morning. The ceremonies are rich in tradition and generally begin with a parade of returned servicemen and military personnel followed by cadets, youth groups and local dignitaries. War veterans, proudly sporting their medals lead the Thursday 16th of April Friday 17th of April Saturday 18th of April Wednesday 22nd of April Thursday 23rd of April Friday 24th of April Saturday 25th of April parade, which leads to a local cenotaph or memorial gate where the ceremony includes a service with hymns, laying of wreaths, dedications, prayers and the Last Post played on a bugle. Morning tea follows and allows people to share memories and catch up with friends and neighbours. Anzac Day was first observed by servicemen in 1916 to mark the anniversary of New Zealand and Australian soldiers landing on the Gallipoli Peninsula in 1915. It soon became a day where all New Zealanders and Australians took time to remember the men and women who perished in the Great War. In 1921, Anzac Day became an official holiday and by 1922 it was declared a full public holiday where shops, banks and hotels remained closed for the day. Symbol of remembrance The red (or Flanders) poppy is a symbol of remembrance and hope all over the world and, in some countries, is worn on Armistice Day, however in New Zealand the red poppy is commonly worn on Anzac Day. The first Poppy Day appeal was on April 24 in 1922, where funds from the sales of small and large silk poppies helped relieve suffering in war-ravaged northern France. A paper version of the poppy is now sold by the Royal New Zealand Returned Services Association on Poppy Day to raise awareness for Anzac Day and funds for returned soldiers and their families and local communities.
