ANZAC
STORIES
I
read the ANZAC stories and all of them were good. But my favourite was the
ANZAC puppy. I thought that it was the best because it reminded me of all the
hardships people had to go through for example gallipoli. They knew they were
outnumbered and outgunned but yet they kept on fighting. Sure some of them
wanted to stop fighting in fact a lot of them did but they still fought, until
the british empire decided to evacuate after eight months of battle. This story
tells us that he was cold sleeping on dirt starving and only had a dog to keep
him company. But in the end they lived happily ever after, and the dog Frida
was cute.

● What is it like being forced
to fight and watch your friends die?
● Do you ever feel bad killing
people who just want the war to end so they can return to their families?
● Do you hate war?
WHY IS ANZAC DAY IMPORTANT
It is to remember the soldiers that fought in world
war l and ll. My great grandfather was in the home guard as a tank driver. It
was just a fault in the machinery that he didn’t go to the front lines, because
he was perfectly healthy. In 1916 they made April the 25th the day we honor
those who died fighting for freedom and love. Every April 25th from then on
people have celebrated ANZAC day by wearing red poppies and baking the biscuits
that the wifes made and sent to their husbands and children fighting in the
war. Also going to their letterboxes at dawn. Memorials were set up in places like Okato with the
names of the soldiers that died fighting. No battle or war is great, the only
great battle is one that can be avoided all together.
