Explanation
Anzac Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand, originally commemorated by both countries on 25 April every year to honour the members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who fought at Gallipoli in the Ottoman Empire during World War I. It now more broadly commemorates all those who served and died in military operations for their countries.
Anzac Day is also observed in the Cook Islands, Niue, Pitcairn, and Tonga. It is no longer observed as a national holiday in Papua New Guinea or Samoa.

HAIKU FOR ANZAC DAY
a lone dawn-lit horse
with empty boots in reverse
knightless we stand-to
ANZAC vets salute
fresh-plucked wild Rosemary sprigs
to pressed lapels cling
half-mast flags flutter
stunned by rolling gun volleys
day’s sun bids farewell
a song for our dead
the flowers of the forest
in bold sunset sway
