Anzac pilgrimage
April 19th, 2010 at 19:56The development of Anzac Day and the ways it’s seen differently between New Zealand and Australia continues to interest me. Here’s a short article that notes one of those differences around the ‘pilgrimmage’ to Gallipoli that some New Zealanders and Australians take.
See Kiwis, Aussies differ over Anzac pilgrimage | Stuff.co.nz (From some research from AUT – see their Anzac Day lecture.)
It’s a bit like the differences between the war memorials on each side of the Tasman. In Australia they tend to list all who went overseas, while in NZ they list those who died overseas.
