The 2nd Airborne Anzacs are a fictous division, in the British Commonwealth armies. However, the term & Acronum 'ANZAC'...Has always referred to the history of Australian & New Zealand Military relations. Meaning - "Australia & New Zealand Army Corps", the term began its first use in the First World War, when New Zealand & Australia, rallied together by Mother Britains side, during a time of need. And the term has stayed with the Australasian militaries ever since.
Although Neither New Zealand Or Australia had any Paratrooper Divisions until the late 20th Century, the other Commonwealth member countries, did. Canada, India & Britain herself, all had Airborne Divisions in their armies. Airborne Divisions are of the most dedicated & Elite soldiers in the army. They jump out of planes, and secure areas from behind enemy lines This is a very daring military manouver, and Paratropers are always the first in.
Although, the 2nd Airborne Anzacs, never existed, they help us remember all those brave ANZAC soldiers who fell in WW2, and more importantly, help us remember, that war for the fighting man is not pretty, and should be avoided at all costs.
May those brave Soldiers NEVER be forgotten, and the spirits of the dying decade live forever in our hearts. We thank them. God Bless.
