Not countries as such, but certain parts of France and Belgium, where large numbers of Australian and New Zealand troops fell in WW1 and WW2, also commemorate the day. there are also services held in Gallipoli (where the Turkish government is right behind the celebrations)In Newfoundland, the Gallipoli offensive is commemorated each year on 25 April by the Royal Newfoundland Regiment who hold a march from Government House through the streets of St. John’s ending at the National War Memorial. Members of both the Australian and New Zealand armed forces are invited each year to participate in the march and wreath laying ceremonies. In Tonga, Samoa, Cook Islands and Niue, ANZAC Day is also commemorated to honour their soldiers who participated to the campaign. ANZAC Day is commemorated in France in the towns of Le Quesnoy and Longueval wikipedia ______ I also saw celebrations in the French town of Villers-Bretonneux, as it was liberated by Australian and NZ troops in 1918.
