ZONNEBEKE, Belgium
On another Anzac Day turned lonesome by the global pandemic, solitary actions show all the more how the sacrifices of Australia and New Zealand during World War I are far from forgotten.
While global attention will turn at dawn on Sunday to the beaches of Turkey’s Gallipoli where the two emerging countries crafted a sense of nationhood from the horrors of war in April 1915, all along the front line in Europe, small ceremonies will show gratitude over a century after the war ended.
A poignant one will take place in Flanders Fields in Belgium, where the so-called Anzac forces also fought, some 2,750 kilometers (1,700 miles) west from Gallipoli along the immense frontline.
