Hmmm. What position do you place Remembrance Day then? Just curious.

Remembrance Day (11th November) is also commemorated but on a somewhat lower level - it is seen as the day to remember the dead from all nations in all wars - rather than being specifically focused on Australia and New Zealand as ANZAC Day is. ANZAC Day is a public holiday and also includes parades where veterans march in all major cities and towns (and many smaller ones as well). Remembrance Day is not a public holiday, but most people (and most school and workplaces) pause for the minute’s silence at the eleventh hour and there are commemorations at the major war memorials.
