Anzac Day 2025
On Friday 25 April at Dawn, we gathered at Grangegorman Military Cemetery to remember the brave ANZAC soldiers who fought and died together on the beaches of Gallipoli, 110 years ago today.
Anzac Day is an important day of national remembrance for Australia and New Zealand — it is a time to reflect on the courage and sacrifices made by generations of service personnel, and the families who support them.
On behalf of the Australian and New Zealand Embassies, thank you to OPW - Office of Public Works , An Garda Síochána , Pheonix Park Rangers and the Óglaigh na hÉireann / Irish Defence Forces for their continued support for the annual Anzac remembrance service.
A special thank you to all participants and guests for supporting and attending the official Irish Anzac service.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.

Australian War Graves in Ireland - "Wattle Among the Shamrocks*"
A number of Australian (and New Zealand) service personnel of the First World War and some of the Australians serving in Allied forces are buried in Ireland or died in the seas off Ireland and whose bodies were never recovered. We have included all those that are buried in and were lost around the island of Ireland.
This page provides information on who they are, where they are buried or how they were lost at sea. Each image is a link to a biographical page that contains text and photos about each person. We are most grateful to Professor Jeff Kildea who spent countless hours researching each invidivual and has written about this in his book "ANZACS and Ireland". Special thanks also to Cathy Sedgwick who has also spent countless hours researching the lives of those that lost their lives fighting for Australia and died while in Ireland and the United Kingdom.
