Anzac Day dawn service, Security Detachment in Baghdad
25
April 2005
One
of Australia's most significant national events,
Anzac Day, is commemorated each year on 25 April
to mark the anniversary of the landings on Gallipoli,
Turkey, in 1915, by Australian and New Zealand
forces. Anzac Day commemorations are mostly
organised by veterans and community groups,
and have special significance for Australian
Defence Force (ADF) members deployed overseas.
ADF members serving in the Middle East under
Operation CATALYST, the rehabilitation of Iraq,
and Operation SLIPPER, Australia's contribution
to the war against terrorism, conducted Anzac
Day ceremonies with the invited participation
of other national contingents.
