Every family has a story of courage or a hero who sacrificed so much for our country’s freedom. 

And we all have something personal left from our ancestors to remind us of heroism in our family.

From medals of honour to faded photographs and crumpled letters that link us to our courageous past.

We asked our readers to share what the Anzac spirit means to them and they shared some of their most treasured possessions with us. 

Do you have a photo of a medal, a hero or just a keepsake that captures the spirit of Anzac Day. 

Please post it on social media or send it to mary.sinanidis@fairfaxmedia.com.au along with a brief description. We would like to add to this gallery of photos and keepsakes.
