Last week was Anzac Day(Australian New Zealand Army Corp) a day in which we, as a nation remember our fellow Australians who have served and died in wars.

Erin, where does the word "Anzac" come from, or what does it mean that it refers to this memorial holiday?

Hi Theresa
The word ANZAC is an acronym standing for Australia New Zealand Army Cor. It came about when the two countries trained together and were deployed in WW1 at ANZAC cove in Galipolli on the 25 April.
