GBNews published this video item, entitled “Thousands march in Sydney Anzac Day parade” – below is their description.
Australians lined the streets of Sydney on Monday (April 25) to watch thousands of past and present military personnel march in the annual Anzac Day parade, after the COVID-19 pandemic curtailed commemorations in the past two years.
Anzac Day originally commemorated a bloody battle on the Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey during World War One. On April 25, 1915, thousands of troops from the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) were among a larger Allied force that landed on the narrow beaches of the Gallipoli peninsula, in an ill-fated campaign that would claim more than 130,000 lives.
Today, Anzac Day honours all Australian and New Zealand troops from all conflicts.
The parade along Sydney’s Elizabeth Street included members of Australia’s Army, Navy and Airforce divisions former and current, along with allied service personnel.
