You can also go to the Shrine Of Remembrance and see lots of amazing things. When you walk around the building you can see flags the people have donated. I really do recommend you go it is a great experience. I went with my family and took some photos. The first one is a flame, the next one is a filed of poppies and the last one is the building it self.

On remembrance day we have a minuet of silence and listen to something called the last post. Every year we do it at 11:00am.
When we play the last post you need to stand still and remember all the people that served for Australia. Thanks to these people we can live a happy, free and safe life.
This year was the 95th anniversary. It has been 95 years scince World War 1 finished.
Remembrance Day is on the 11th of November. On this very special day we wear poppies. We wear poppies because it represents the brave and grateful people that served in the war.

World War 1 went for 4 years, 1914 to 1918.
World War 1 stared in Gillipoli.
The English Army made the Australian Army go to Gallipoli and fight. New Zealand, Britain and France went to the beach of Gallipoli and tried to climb over the big mountain that all the people from Turkey were standing on and they each had a gun to shot the Australians down. Their were at least 40,000 Australians killed in that war. For all the wives of all these men, it was a tragic loss when they saw their husbands did not come back.

Sister Alice Kitchen- It is all too dreadful and every day we hear of someone we knew being killed or wounded.

Why I chose Nurses in WWI
Thank you Prezi
Unknown nurse-No words can describe the awfulness of the wounds. Bullets are nothing. It is the shrapnel that tears through the flesh and cuts off limbs.
Sister Jessie Tomlins-I have never regretted that I took the notion into my head to take on nursing, for it has opened up opportunities that I would never have had.
When the two classes were looking at all the people in the nineteen hundreds, I saw a nurse, I thought that would be a great person to do. I was searching for a nurse but I could not find the right one. I talked to Mrs Clark and she said that I could do nurses in general. I said to myself that would be great.
But the reason I really wanted to do nurses is because they are great people and helped our soldiers. They are very brave.
France
Sister Ella Tucker- 25-4-15 Red letter day. Gaba Tepe ... The wounded think the old ship is heaven after the peninsula. There are 557 patients on board and only 7 nurses.
Gallipoli
Greece
Sister Rachael Pratt-At first the situation on the island seemed hopeless. What could be achieved under such dire circumstances?
World War I went for 4 years, 1914 to 1918.
World War I stared in Gallipoli.
The English Army made the Australian and New Zealand Army go to Gallipoli and fight. New Zealand, Britain and France went to the beach of Gallipoli and tried to climb over the big mountain that all the people from Turkey were standing on. They each had a gun to shoot the Australians down. There was at least 40,000 Australians killed in that war. For all the wives and mothers of all these men, it was a tragic loss when they saw their husbands and sons did not come back.
What I think about nurses in WWI
I think that the nurses in WWI were very brave and that they are great role models. They also were very good at looking after the soldiers because they would usually have about 25 patients at one time, and they had to do around 70 operations in one day.
France
Without women in the war lots of our soldiers would have died.
Women were not just nurses in war they also built weapons for the men.
Sister Jessie Tomlins- I believe it to be awful in India. English nurses could not stand the heat and cholera … that is why they have sent Australians.
Egypt
I got these from http://www.awm.gov.au/exhibitions/nurses/ww1/
Nurses were involved in looking after soldiers and other medical jobs. There was also a number of Red Cross volunteers that did fundraisers.
Egypt
There was 3,000 civilian nurse volunteers. The women worked in hospitals, hospital ships and trains. Our nurses served in all different places like Britain, India, France, Belgium, Mediterranean and the Middle East.
At the end of 1914 300 Australian nurses went to Egypt. It was a long trip but they were kept busy by assisting vaccinations, operations and training male orderlies.
The hospitals that the nurses were working in were very crowded from the war in Gallipoli.

Thank you to
for this great poem about poppies
Australia
Australia was lucky because there was no war here but nurses were still serving in Australia.
Australian National Anthem
Australian nurses served in Egypt, Lemnos, England, France, Belgium, Greece, Salonika, Palestine, Mesopotamia and India.
"Please wear a Poppy," the Lady said, and held one forth, but I shook my head.. Then I stopped and watched as she offered them there and her face was old and lined with care, but beneath the scars the years had made there remained a smile that refused to fade.
A boy came whistling down the street, bouncing along on carefree feet. His smile was full of joy and fun, "Lady" said he, "Can I have one." When she pinned it on he turned to say, "Why do we wear a Poppy today?"
The Lady smiled in her wistful way and answered, "This is Remembrance Day, and the Poppy there is a symbol for the gallant people who died in the war. and because they died, you and I are free. That's why we wear a Poppy you see.
I had a boy about your size, with golden hair and big blue eyes. He loved to play and jump and shout, free as a bird he would prance about. As the years went by he learned and grew and became a man, as you will too. He was fine and strong with a boyish smile but he seemed with us such a little while.
The war broke out and he went away, I still remember his face that day when he smiled at me and said 'goodbye', I'll be back soon Mum, so please don't cry. But the war went on and I had to stay, and all I could do was wait and pray. His letters told of the awful fight (I can see it still in my dreams at night) with tanks and guns and cruel barbed wire and mines and bullets, the bombs and fire till at last, at last, the war was won, and that's why we wear a Poppy, my son."
The small boy turned as if to go, then said, "Thanks I'm glad I know. That sure did sound like an awful fight, but your son, did he come all right?" A tear rolled down each faded cheek, she shook her head, but didn't speak.
I slunk away in a sort of shame, and if you were me you'd have done the same for your thanks, in giving, is oft delayed, tho' our freedom was bought and thousands paid. And so when you see a Poppy worn, Let us reflect on burdens borne, by those who gave their very all, when asked to answer their country's call.
There were over 2,100 nurses that served overseas and over 400 served in Australia. 29 nurses died this was in the time period of 1914 to 1919.
Sisters Clare Deacon, Dorothy Cawood and Alice Ross-King and Staff Nurse Mary Derrer were given bravery awards for saving some of our soldiers from burning buildings.
A bunch of Australian nurses sailed to France in 1916 this was organized by the Australian Red Cross and financed by the Australian Jockey Club. They had to wear blue uniforms
made by David Jones.
It is awful because the Australian nurses had to go to serve because the English nurses said it was too hot.
