Sacashi –
Hi 3/4 GB, Your blog is one of the most interesting, inirsping and amazing blogs I have ever read. Every little thing about it is good, from the posts to the wiki! I very much enjoy reading your blog, there is always something new! Keep up the good work!So back to your questions, (I am just guessing )I think they chose April 25th as ANZAC day because that was the day that the war started and that would be the most suitable day of all the days of the ANZAC war (WW1)I think ANZAC day is such an important day for Australia and New Zealand because it was such a tragic time for the two countries (and this is a fact) more than 8,000 Australians were killed!(And I know this) ANZAC stands for Australia and New Zealand Army Corps.I hope all of my answers were correct, maybe you could reply to me the correct answers?Thank you for creating such a wonderful blog and I look forward to reading oll of your wonderful posts.Kind regardsJessica (5/6W)
