The ANZAC Dawn service is one way that many people commemorate the solemn occasion of ANZAC Day. 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. The reason it was held at dawn was because the first troops came ashore at Gallipoli just before dawn on 25 April 1915.
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.
