In honour of the Australian and New Zealand Military Forces who fought in the region in 1916-1918 and for all those who made the ultimate sacrifice, they gave their lives for our freedom,
all gave some, some gave all.

Is ne vieilliront pas comme nous, qui leur avons survécu. Ils ne connaîtront jamais l'outrage ni le poids dos années. Quand viendra l'heure du crépuscule et celle de l’aurore,
nous nous souviendrons d'eux.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

E kore ratou e koroheketia Penei i a tatou kua mahue nei
E kore hoki ratou e ngoikore Ahakoa

pehea i nga ahuatanga a te wa.
I te hekenga atu a te ra Tae noa ki te aranga mai i te ata
Ka maumahara tonu tatou ki a ratou.

Ne l'oublions pas.
Lest we forget.
Me kaua tatou e wareware.

Quand tu retourneras à la maison parle-leur de nous et dis-leur pour votre demain nous avons donné notre aujourd’hui
