Lest We Forget Anzac Song By Anna Van Riel

Performed and composed by Anna van Riel.
Anzac Day is named after the ANZACs – the men of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps who fought in the battle at Gallipoli in Turkey.

On April 25, 1915, soldiers from Australia and New Zealand represented their respective countries for the first time on the field of battle.

Just over 100,000 New Zealanders served overseas in the First World War, many of them young men who had never left home before.

Among the dead more than 8700 Australians and 2779 New Zealanders, about a fifth of all those who had landed on the peninsula at Gallipoli.

The total population of New Zealand in 1914 was just over one million

A total of 18,500 New Zealanders died in or because of the war, and around 41,000 were wounded. More than 2,700 died at Gallipoli and 12,500 on the Western Front.

For Australia, from a population of fewer than five million,416,809 men enlisted, of which over 60,000 were killed and 156,000 wounded, gassed, or taken prisoner.
