World War 1


Voice Recorder >>

Franz Ferdinand was shot by a crazy man, he was in his car with his wife at this time. Lots of people mostly soldiers were going for the crazy man and lots of people were going for Franz Ferdinand. This is how the war began.
That shot was called "the shot that echoed around the world”. It was a really sad shot, but our soldiers fought in the war for us. 

For us to remember there is a saying it’s "lest we forget". We must remember people who fought for our country.


The troops of New Zealand and of Australian were called ANZAC's. We wear poppy to remember them. Some of the names are written on the wall in the Auckland museum. I know one of them, he was my Papa.
