ANZAC Day – San Francsico

We received this from our colleagues in the SFKiwi’s organization.


ANZAC 2022 commemorative service. Open to all. Please join us at the Mateship Memorial in Heroes Grove in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park Sunday April 24 at 12 p.m. for a short service.

Following this you are invited to a BYO picnic at the 14th Ave. East Meadow Picnic area.

Massive thanks to the sfaussies for sorting out the venue and taking the lead on the organizing. FYI this is not being streamed this year.

Looking forward to catching up with a lot of you again on Sunday!

Virtual Ceremony: ANZAC Day 2021

Earlier today the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 25 (representing the San Francisco Bay area) partnered with the Australian American Chamber of Commerce and the New Zealand American Association of San Francisco to stream a small ANZAC day service from Hero’s Grove in Golden Gate National Park on Sunday, 25 April, which began at 10am. This is a recording of that streamed event.

The Royal Canadian Legion was present at the service to represent the Royal Newfoundland Regiment, which joined the ANZAC forces at Gallipoli. 2021 is an important year for the Regiment and Gallipoli, as only days ago the final caribou statue was installed in Gallipoli, completing the Trail of the Caribou (i.e., the sites where the Royal Newfoundland regiment fought during World War I).

105 years since the very first Anzac Day

From the folks at NZ History.


Today marks 105 years since the very first Anzac Day in 1916, and 100 years since Anzac Day was first commemorated as an official public holiday, following the passage of the Anzac Day Act 1920.
