ANZAC Day. Today (25th April) in New Zealand and Australia, we commemorate members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who fought at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War I. ANZAC Day also now more broadly commemorates all those who died and served in military operations for their countries.
When it comes to this day, despite their subject being American soldiers landing at Omaha Beach on D-Day (6th June 1944), I always think of Robert Capa’s iconic photos. I guess that’s the influence of Spielberg and Hanks coming to bear.
Still, that’s not all bad. Lest we forget.
