๐บ ANZAC Day ๐บ is a solemn occasion of national remembrance, honoring the bravery and sacrifice of those who defended, served, and laid down their lives during times of war, conflict, and peacekeeping missions. Despite the tragic reality that humanity has yet to fully learn its lessons, with wars and atrocities against civilians persisting, today we stand together to pay tribute to all veterans, active service members, and those who have bravely served, been injured, or lost their lives in the pursuit of defending our freedoms.
Today we also wish to honour the animals who stood alongside their human counterparts during these times.

The image shows a corporal, probably on the staff of the 2nd Australian general hospital, holding the koala, which may have been either a pet or mascot.
