Caption title.

“Anzac Day (25th April, 1917).”

An acrostic poem titled “To the Anzacs,” with the first letter of each line spelling out Anzacs. The poem reads: Anzacs! What can we say to you? / Noble and gallant heroes true! / Zeal for Australia to live or die. / Australia! the name you lifted high! / Comrades! God bless you! For that great part / Shrined is your name in Australia's heart!
