what shound i but in my speach about anzac?

Question

i have to do a speach about anzac and i dont no were to start or what do but in it

Answer 1

There is so much to cover about Anzac, I would start with what Anzac means to you, be honest, if it means just a day off school, say that, but then go into detail about why we celebrate Anzac Day, and maybe if you have a family member who served talk about what they did when they served. It is a very emotional topic, but I for one am very happy that we celebrate Anzac Day, and I try and attend the morning sevice in the city, there is nothing more chilling than hearing the bugal play the last post.

Answer 2

Gallipoli ( Anzac Cove) was our first real battle under our own banner. We were sent to the wrong place by the English command and got slaughtered. Since then Anzac day has become our most important national day ( even above Australia Day) Pilgrimages to Turkey have become a big annual event and most people here have a lot of respect for the relationship between the three countries who were once enemies but can now join together to mourn the death of so many of their children.

Answer 3

The Anzac sentiment is one of mateship, commitment and sacrifice. Yes look at the History of the forces and the mistakes by the poms that put them there etc BUT out of all of that....what rises above it all and stands out from the mistakes and carnage? Its the "Anzac spirit" and that spirit is about making the best of a bad situation, not giving in, looking out for your mates and helping each other, ingenuity ( they actually made grenades out of food tins etc), sacrifice.
The Anzac spirit was born on those bloodied cliffs and it lives on everyone who remembers. The place in some ways doesnt matter what is important is- the spirit, the actions, the deeds and sacrifice that make Anzacs what they were and still are...
Heroes of a nation, role model for those facing a seemingly unwinnable situation.

Answer 4

You could start with what it stands for, then go on to what their major campaigns were in WWI where the ANZAC legend began. Gallipolli is a big start. You could also go into why ANZAC Day (25 April) is celebrated each year and how the current Defence Forces recognise the day. That's a start...

Answer 5

"Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives...You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country.Therefore rest in peace.There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehemts to us where they lie side by side now here in this country of ours...you the mothers,who sent their sons from faraway countries wipe away your tears;your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace.After having lost their lives on this land.They have become our sons as well"

These are the words of Commander Ataturk he made after the war and are on a memorial at Anzac Cove hope they help with your speech.
