The focus in Australia and New Zealand this week has been on remembering the commitment and sacrifice of the men and women in our armed forces. As there has been no Trans-Tasman ANZAC Day Challenge this year I have decided to make this issue a compilation of blog posts with an ANZAC Day theme.
I am including all of the posts I have read but apologise if I have missed any. Please let me know of any I may have overlooked and I will add them.

I also did an Anzac day post about my grandfather's brother who died in World War 1.

Thanks Lois - will add when I get back to my computer.
Thanks Jill. Far more than I realised.
WOW...thank you Jill. I didn't realise so many ANZAC blogs...I will go and read those that I've missed. It has become a tradition for me now...I need to find some more Gallipoli stories to share. LEST WE FORGET.
Wow - look at all those links...fantastic stuff....so inspiring...now I feel awful I didn't do anything this year but so happy others remembered and were more organised.
Thanks for the mention, Jill..way behind in reading at the moment, so have just seen this. Thankfully, I have read most of those mentioned.
