History of Anzac Day The Dawn Service

The first commemorative event of Anzac Day is the Dawn Service at 4.30 am. This is about the time men of the ANZAC approached the Gallipoli beach. However, the origin is the traditional ‘standto’, in which troops would be woken so that by the first rays of dawn they were in position and alert, in case of an enemy attack in the eerie halflight. It is a ritual and a moment remembered by many veterans.

Some debate exists about the first Dawn Service. Nevertheless, early dawn services such as that held in 1923 at Albany, Western Australia, conducted by the Reverend Arthur White—Rector of St John’s Church, and formerly a padre with the 44th Battalion on the Western Front—were the forerunners of the modern tradition.

The first official Dawn Service was held at Sydney’s Cenotaph during 1928. The simple ceremony was for veterans to assemble before dawn for ‘standto’ and two minutes of silence.

The story of the Dawn Service and its origins is found in the article ‘In honour of Anzac Day: grave history of Dawn Service‘ Air Force News, 447, 25 April 2002.

Kerry Neale, ‘In the cold light of dawn’, discusses the significance of the Dawn Service continuing to grow while questions remain over its origin in Australia Wartime, 38, 2007, pp. 38–39.

In Origins of the Anzac Dawn Ceremony: Spontaneity and Nationhood, Robyn Mayes looks at three possible origins of the Dawn Service and discusses the sociological context of these.
