ANZAC DAY
Sunday 25 April 2010

ANZAC Day marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War. On 25 April 1915, young Australians and New Zealanders waded ashore at Gallipoli and began seven months of intense combat that marked the arrival of two young nations on the world stage.

On Sunday 25 April 2010 the Australian High Commission will host a Commemorative Dawn Service at the Military Annex of the Cheras Road Christian Cemetery in Kuala Lumpur. The Service is open to members of the public and those attending are requested to arrive by 6.15 am for the service to commence at 6.30 am.

Those attending are advised that at that time of the day it will be dark and mosquitoes are likely. Guests are advised to apply mosquito repellent and carry a small torch.

Dress for the occasion will be smart attire (jacket/tie optional) or ceremonial uniform, with medals. For further information please e-mail: [email protected]
