The Ode and ANZAC Day
The Ode and ANZAC Day are synonymous in Australia and New Zealand.
ANZAC Day, the 25th April each year, is the day we Aussies and Kiwis not only remember the landing of the ANZACS (The Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) on Gallipoli, Turkey in 1915. We also remember all Australians and New Zealanders who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations.
While the Gallipoli campaign was a military failure, the actions of the Australian and New Zealand troops during the campaign have become the “ANZAC Legend” and an intangible yet powerful legacy.
The spirit of ANZAC, with its human qualities of Courage, Endurance, Mateship, and Sacrifice, continues to have meaning and relevance for our sense of national identities in both Australia and New Zealand.
On ANZAC day, ceremonies, including dawn services, are held in towns and cities across Australia and New Zealand to acknowledge the service of our veterans. The Ode of Remembrance is recited at these services.
Below are the words and also a video of the Ode spoken as well as the sounding of the Last Post.
The Ode (Words)
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.
Anzac Day - Ode and Last Post - We will remember them
