Anzac in Sabah too


held each year on 25 April as the Anzac Day commemorates the members of Sabah in World War 2, particularly prisoners of war (Pow) participating in the death march from Sandakan to Ranau in 1945. A total of 1400 troops from Britain Australia and killed in the three death march at Sandakan (Sabah) when the Japanese forced them to walk so far 250 km. Is common for retired military or family member make a visit to Sabah to give honor to their ancestors who died and those who incite the clouds of life to help others during the difficult time.

It is commonly believed that the wives and loved ones of the ANZAC would send “Anzac Cookies/Biscuits” to their men during that war. The cookies were able to withstand not only the overseas travel, but still be edible. They were a welcome treat from home for the soldiers who were far away.
