Help Line The Streets With Poppies Poster To Commemorate ANZAC


Kiwi's may not be able to celebrate Anzac day this year but they can help by Lining Poppy poster on The streets and in their Window.  For the first time in history Anzac Day dawn ceremonies will not be taking place this April 25, due to Covid-19 restrictions. As a way to pay respects, Kiwis are being urged to "never forget" from inside their bubbles by placing images of poppies in their windows, including a special edition poster from Herald artist and cartoonist Rod Emmerson . New Zealanders are also being asked to unite at 6am on Saturday at their letterboxes, front doors and even their living rooms. Veterans are encouraged to wear their medals on Anzac Day just as they would for official public Anzac Day gatherings.  A special edition image by Herald illustrator Rod Emmerson.

The Meuseum

In the museum I experienced the trench.  It felt like a rock and the sacks were at the end. It felt harder than the real sack and, I think the real trench was made out of mud and the soft sacks. In the the trench I saw a small spade, gun, knife and the holy bible. The holy bible was small. It was smaller than a clock. The cover was blue and it was a square. The trench was dark and a little bit cold. At the museum we found Mrs Shorthand husband great great grandfather, he was in the war. We also saw the names on the wall. It had thousands of names on the wall as well. The soldiers all had a place to sleep in the trench. It would of looked like a cupboard where they slept.
