Remembrance Day
Mr WELLS (Rowville) — This statement acknowledges the significance of Remembrance Day, 11 November 2015, marking the 97th anniversary of the armistice which ended the First World War. Every year on Remembrance Day, as Australians and as part of the commonwealth, we honour the memory of those who died or who have suffered in wars or armed conflicts. The First World War, or the Great War, has a special place in the hearts of many Australians, particularly those who had relatives who fought in the fields of Europe or on the shores of Turkey at Gallipoli, or those who have since learnt of the bravery, mateship and great sacrifice of the Anzacs at Gallipoli that has now become Australian folklore.
