Anzac Dayについて
ANZAC Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand, observed on April 25th each year. It commemorates all Australians and New Zealanders who have served and died in wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations, particularly the landing of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) at Gallipoli, Turkey, on April 25, 1915.
The Gallipoli Campaign of World War I, in which Allied forces attempted to capture the Dardanelles strait, resulted in devastating casualties for Australian and New Zealand troops. Though the campaign failed militarily, it became a defining moment in both nations' national identities.
ANZAC Day is one of the most important national occasions in Australia and New Zealand, often described as the ANZAC spirit — characterized by courage, mateship, and sacrifice.

Anzac Dayはどのように祝われますか？
ANZAC Day begins with Dawn Services held at 6:00 AM at war memorials across Australia and New Zealand — an outdoor ceremony that draws enormous crowds to remember the fallen. The haunting notes of the Last Post, a minute's silence, and the Rouse bugle call are central elements.
Marches of veterans and current servicemembers through city centers are held in the morning. Australians also gather to play Two-Up — a traditional gambling game played with pennies — which is legally permitted only on ANZAC Day. RSL clubs host commemorative events throughout the day.
