People choose to remember ANZAC Day by attending or participating in special commemoration services. Different groups in Australia and New Zealand commemorate ANZAC Day in slightly different ways, but there are some common themes:
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.
Schoolchildren incorporate other elements. For example, there is a song entitiled "The Last ANZAC", which is often sung at these assemblies. Literature relevant to the children may be read, such as selections from Lois Krok's "Letters from Gallipoli". School captains are also selected to attend more formal public commemorations.
In addition:
Dawn services, and services at other times during the morning, are held at war memorials in small and large communities. This tradition started in Albany, Western Australia on 25 April 1923. Services begin before dawn, as members of the defence services march to their local memorial (almost every town, large and small, in New Zealand and Australia, have a war memorial, or an "ANZAC Square") where members of the public and community leaders join them for a Dawn Service.
The capital cities also have marches through the city streets, usually to the war memorial or Cross of Sacrifice where a commemorative service is held. The state Governor takes the salute. Veterans of all wars in which Australia has been involved are remembered, not just those of Gallipoli. Present day serving members of the armed forces also march, with music provided by pipe and other community and service bands. Public attendance at the events is increasing in recent years.
The ANZAC Day march is usually followed by social gatherings of veterans, hosted either in a pub or in an RSL Club, often including a traditional Australian gambling game called "two-up", which was an extremely popular past-time with ANZAC soldiers.
