Australia’s Federation Guard is working hard to perfect our precision drill for the Anzac Day Dawn Service at the Australian National Memorial in Villers-Bretonneux, one of Australia’s most sacred memorial sites.
Guardsmen Able Seaman Tammy Vaughn and Leading Aircraftwoman Hunter Westbrook reveal what inspires them to perform their best work.
In On Anzac day we remember the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) soldiers who died on 25 April 1915, and all personnel who served and died in wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations. We reflect on their courage, discipline and self-sacrifice.
The Anzac spirit lives on in the hearts and minds of all Australians as we acknowledge the courage and sacrifice of those who contributed so much to shaping the identity of our nation.
Australian Defence Force (ADF) personnel across Australia and serving around the world will commemorate Anzac Day through dawn services and commemorative services. In Australia, ADF personnel will support the Australian War Memorial services as well as services in each capital city and dozens of smaller cities and towns.
Overseas, ADF personnel will also support services at Gallipoli in Turkiye, Villers-Bretonneux in France, as well as services in the Middle East and across the Indo-Pacific.
Australians are encouraged to participate by sharing photos, stories and videos via social media channels using the following hashtags:
