FILE - In this Thursday, Oct. 4, 2007 file photo, the flag draped coffins of five Australian soldiers, including John "Jack" Hunter, await re-burial during a ceremony at Buttes Military Cemetery in Zonnebeke, Belgium. On another Anzac Day turned lonesome by the global pandemic, solitary actions show all the more how the sacrifices of Australia and New Zealand during World War I are far from forgotten. While global attention will turn at dawn on Sunday to the beaches of Turkey’s Gallipoli where the two emerging countries crafted a sense of nationhood from the horrors of war in April 1915, all along the front line in Europe, small ceremonies will show gratitude over a century after the war ended.
