is commemorated every year to mark the landing of Australian and New Zealand (Anzac) troops on Gallipoli in 1915. Many Sikhs paid the ultimate sacrifice in Gallipoli too, including 80% of the soldiers of a single Sikh battalion. 2024

They shall grow not old,
as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them,
nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
and in the morning
We will remember them.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. #AnzacDay
