A large crowd gathered at the Lone Pine Memorial on Camp Hill to pay their respects at the 108th<\/sup> Anzac Dawn Service in Heathcote.<\/p>\n

Secretary of the Heathcote RSL Sub-Branch, Michael Carroll, welcomed attendees to the service after they climbed the path to the memorial by torchlight.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore dawn on 25 April 1915, the first soldiers of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps landed on the shores of the Gallipoli Peninsula.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe men were part of a British and French led invasion.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome 2000 Australians were killed or wounded on that day.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Anzac Cove, the Australians were the first to land, followed later in the day by the New Zealanders.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnzac Day has become one of the most important dates on the Australian calendar since 1916.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt first, it gave people a chance to honour the original Anzacs, the Australians and New Zealanders who fought on Gallipoli.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince then it has become a day for all who served in the Great War, the Second World War, and all wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations that have followed.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnzac Day has become an occasion to honour all who have worn our country\u2019s uniform in service.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Carroll then called on Heathcote RSL Sub-Branch President Miles Humphrey to lay a wreath.<\/p>\n

The traditional Anzac Requiem followed before the Last Post, a minute of silence for reflection and Reveille.<\/p>\n

Mr Humphrey thanked everyone for attending and invited them to share in the traditional Gunfire Breakfast at the RSL.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was really pleased to see so many people attend this morning,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were lots of new faces too, which was wonderful to see.\u201d<\/p>\n
