ANZAC Day
Every year on April 25, Australians and New Zealanders across the world come together to remember and recognise the service and sacrifice of members of our defence forces.
Originally a commemoration marking the anniversary of the first military action fought by Australian and New Zealand troops during the first World War, ANZAC Day is a public expression of gratitude and reflection which resonates to the present day.
Goldfields Libraries would like to acknowledge those who have served our country and thank them, and their families, for their service.
Below we have gathered a selection of books and online resources which acknowledge, honour, remember and celebrate our troops and the brave sacrifices they made for our country. For more suggestions, or research help, please ask staff at your local library.
Lest We Forget.
