Scoop Photo-Essay: ANZAC Day Dawns In New Zealand
By Selwyn Manning – Scoop Co-Editor
Photo-Essay + Video + Audio - ANZAC Day dawned here in New Zealand with thousands of people gathering at commemorations in
cities, provincial towns, and rural centres. Dawn services
like this morning's at the Auckland War Memorial Cenotaph
herald remembrance ceremonies here, in Australia, at
Gallipoli Turkey, and all places where Kiwis and Aussies
have chosen to settle.
Auckland mayor Dick Hubbard spoke of remembrance and how important it is. ANZAC Day is not a day to glorify war, he said, but a time to remember those who were killed at Gallipoli, their youth, their bravery, and that of all who have served in battles throughout the world.
Scoop was there at dawn to capture the commemoration. Young and old, Maori and Pakeha and all other races gathered amidst fog before dawn. Hymns were sung, and words of respect and of memories were said. And all there promised to remember them.
