ANZAC Day 2004

24 April 2004
Anzac Day rehearsal, Solomon Islands

Anzac Day for the Australian Defence Force is about honoring those who have served and given their lives in the service of the nation. It’s a day of commemoration and reflection. The ADF has a fine history of military service to Australia that dates back more than 100 years.

For ADF personnel currently deployed to the Solomon Islands, working side by side with New Zealand troops ensures the proud tradition of the Anzacs is alive today.
