Anzac Day - Cloze Task
Most Anzac day services start with a march of returned service personnel
wearing their medals, and marching behind banners and standards. The 
veterans are joined by other community groups, including members
of the armed forces, the Red Cross, cadets etc.
The march continues to the local war memorial, where a service takes place.
This includes the laying of wreaths by various organisations and members of
the public. Flowers have traditionally been land graves and memorials in
memory of the people. Laurel and rosemary are often a
in wreaths. Laurel is used by the ancient Romans as a symbol of honour
and was woven as a wreath to crown victors or the brave. Rosemary is used
was_ remembrance. The wreaths are laid to honour the people to have died
fighting for New Zealand. 
The poppy has become the symbol of Anzac Day. The Flanders poppy as it is
now called grew in the trenches and craters of war zone in Belgium and
at Gallipoli. These poppies grow wild in the spring. Poppies are sold on the days
before Anzac Day to raise money for the R.S.A. [Returned Services Association]
In most ceremonies of remembrance there is a reading of a poem. This is
often "The Ode to the Fallen" by Laurence Binyon. It was first published in
the Times newspaper in 1914.
They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them , nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning.
We will remember them.
The last post is the trumpet call sounded in army barracks at 10pm at
night to mark the end of the day activities. It is also used at military
funerals and commemorative services to show that the soldier's day has
drawn to a final close.
This is usually followed by a period of silence for one or two minutes as a sign
of respect for those how have died. After observing the silence the flags are
raised from half-mast to the masthead. The Rouse is then played.
The Reveille is played at the dawn services instead of the Rouse. The Reveille is
played only as the first call in the morning . It woke the soldiers at
dawn.
Often hymns as sung and speeches made. The important part of the ceremony
is to how those who died.
