ANZAC Day
Look out for a Bomber Command banner or a Bomber Command squadron in your local Anzac Day march.
On ANZAC Day, Australians can pay tribute to Bomber Command veterans by taking time to remember the extraordinary courage and sacrifice of the more than 4,000 aircrew who never came home, as well as those who survived but carried the weight of their service for the rest of their lives. Whether standing in silence at a Dawn Service, laying a poppy at a memorial, marching in honour of a relative, or wearing family medals on the right side, each act becomes a personal gesture of gratitude. Many people choose to visit memorials or Bomber Command displays, or to share their family stories so younger generations understand the dangers these men faced on every mission. Even a quiet moment of reflection at home can be a powerful tribute. Together, these acts ensure that the service of Bomber Command veterans remains a living part of Australia’s ANZAC tradition.
