ANZAC Day with a difference

With traditional ANZAC Day services cancelled this year, there are still plenty of ways you can get involved and remember the sacrifices made.

Here are some ideas:

• Driveways at Dawn: The RSL have asked we remember our soldiers by standing for a minute of silence with a lit candle in our driveways at dawn, while The Last Post is played.
• Make your own poppy: The poppy as a symbol of Remembrance Day began with the observations of brigade surgeon Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae as to how these graceful flowers grew wild upon the ground broken by battle. 
• Live stream the Dawn Service: View the live stream of the National Commemorative Service from the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.
• Veterans of Whittlesea: Upload a photograph of a veteran whose story touches yours.
• Westgarthtown and WWI: Juxtaposing the treatment of citizens of German descent living in Westgarthtown with the experiences of their relatives who were fighting and dying for Australia during World War 1, Westgarthtown & WWI is a moving documentary presented by the Friends of Westgarthtown.
