Hundreds of thousands of Australians will take to the streets on Sunday 25 April to remember those who died in wars through the 20th century to the present day.

It's called ANZAC Day, after the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.

This year marks the 95th anniversary of Australia's ill-fated landings on the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey during World War I. Record numbers are expected to attend dawn services and street parades.

But it's all a far cry from the relatively sedate remembrance ceremonies which take place in other parts of the world. The event often seems more like a carnival than sober reflection on the nations' war dead.
