The Sydney War Cemetery is adjacent to the Garden of Rememberance at Rookwood Necropolis. It has the graves of service personnel who died during Word War 2, or soon after (top). The Cross of Sacrifice (bottom) identifies British Commonwealth war cemeteries across the world. Today is Anzac Day, which commemorates those who have served and died in wars. ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps and the date marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Anzac forces during the First World War at Gallipoli, Turkey. At commemorations and services such as those held on Anzac Day we say 'Lest We Forget' or in other words 'so that we should not forget'.
