  9. Flanders Field Poem In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields Poppies On ANZAC Day On ANZAC Day a poppy is worn to remember all of the men who fought and died in the war and also how tough the were as they were the first flowers to grow after the war.

  10. The Ode Last Post They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them The Last Post is a bugle song that is played at all ANZAC Day ceremonies and was played at the end of every day in World War 1.

  11. My Thoughts. On ANZAC Day I usually go to a service in the morning. This year I lay a wreath with Lily in Camperdown. I believe that ANZAC Day is vey important because it helps people to remember all of our diggers that served for our country.
