The Dawn Service can be considered as the most significant part of the ANZAC Day commemorations. Dawn Service is the first service on April 25th to remember the landing day of Anzacs in Gallipoli during WWI. When dawn broke on this day in 1915 a terrible slaughter began and the crowd come together to commemorate their grandfather as dawn emerges from blackness of night. Dawn service of ANZAC Day in Gallipoli was held at the Ari Burnu war cemetery at ANZAC Cove until 1999, but the growing numbers of people attending resulted in the construction of a more spacious site on North Beach, known as the "ANZAC Commemorative Site". All participants of ANZAC Day in Gallipoli are taken to ANZAC Cove to join dawn service and then they head to other sites to follow next services.
Dawn Service in France is arranged at the Australian National Memorial in Villers Bretonneux, Somme at dawn time. It is supposed to be at at 5.15 am.
