In remembrance: ANZAC Day 2004

Every year, Auckland War Memorial Museum marks Anzac Day with a special
programme of commemorative events. This year, Anzac Day is particularly special
as it marks 90 years since the outbreak of World War I.

The day commences with the dawn service at 5.30am, with a repeat service at 11.
Opening to the public from 12 noon, the Museum will offer a range of
performances, film screenings and craft activities for children.

At 12.30pm, Gunner Inglorious, a one-man play based on the autobiography of
World War II veteran Jim Henderson, will be performed in the Manaia Room.

At 2pm, the University of Auckland Singers conducted by Karen Grylls will
perform requiem pieces, including In Hora Ultima – At the Ultimate Hour by
Lassus.

At 3pm, a compilation of historic films shot during World War I, entitled
‘Zealandia’s Great War on Film’, will screen in the Manaia Room. This screening
is organised in association with the New Zealand Film Archive and marks the 90
years since the outbreak of World War I. Pianist Tama Karena will accompany
these silent films.
