25 April 1916 was the first unofficial ANZAC day, and this day was marked by a wide variety of ceremonies and services in Australia, a march through London, and a sports day in the Australian camp in Egypt.ANZAC Day was gazetted as a public holiday in New Zealand in 1921.

In Australia, it was decided at the 1921 state premiers conference that ANZAC Day be observed on April 25 each year. Initially, it was not observed uniformly in all the states. It wasn't until 1927 that all Australians commemorated the day with a public holiday.
