Significance of WW1 (Anzac)

When do you hear this music?
Anzac Day- Sunday, 25 April and Monday, 26 April And Friday 23rd April (Remembrance Day)

Why this song significant/important to New Zealand?
We remember the brave soldiers from Australia, New Zealand, France and Great Britain, who contributed to the fight and passed away, we remember the soldiers with poppies. Our red poppy is a symbol of both Remembrance and hope for a peaceful future. Poppies are worn as a show of support for the Armed Forces community that put their lives on the lined. The poppy is a well-known and well-established symbol, a symbol that carries a huge part of history and meaning with it. The song has a strong theme/meaning of shared fear and terror in combat.

What is the History behind the last post - why was it played and when?
 Anzac day is a day to mourn/remember the soldiers from WW1 (Australia, Newzealand, Great Britan, France and Turkey.) 

What does this song represent?
Is the national day of remembrance for all Australians, New Zealanders, French and the British who served and died in WW1. Anzac day was first observed in 1916. The day has gone through many changes since. The ceremonies that are held at war memorials up and down New Zealand and all the rest of the allies of Great Britain, Memorials are also in places overseas where everyone gathers with silence whilst closing eyes, remembering what happened in the past.
