    1. The RSA (Returned Services Association) was formed in New Zealand in 1916 by returning Anzacs during World War One to provide support and comfort for service men and women and their families. Today we have 105,000 members throughout New Zealand.

  3. The red poppy has become a symbol of war remembrance the world over. People in many countries wear the poppy to remember those who died in war or who still serve. In many countries, the poppy is worn around Armistice Day (11 November), but in New Zealand it is most commonly seen around Anzac Day, 25 April.
