The Kennan Institute and National Public Radio in the USA has established an online audio archive of Soviet and Russian history. "The archive consists of recordings dating back to the earliest years of the Soviet state. Included are the voices and speeches of key political figures, including Lenin, Kerensky, Kirov, Beria, Stalin, Gorbachev, and others. Among the recorded interviews are Anna Larina (Bukharin's widow); Valentin Berezhkov, Stalin's wartime interpreter; Yelena Bonner, Sakharov's widow; and Lev Pevsner, a survivor of the Leningrad Blockade. There is also on-the-scene recorded sound of many events in Soviet history, including: the Russian and American armies meeting at the Elbe; Stalin's funeral; the August 1991 coup against Gorbachev. [...] The material comes from Soviet and Russian sources, the NPR archives, the archives of the BBC, and individual donors. Some of the material is in Russian, some in English. "

Hey, This website is a great website because is reliable and also it has many great quotes that can be used within the speech talking about past and present war memorials. Anna

This has some good quotes that you can put in your speech to hook you audience. It also has some quotes that can work as sources.

Thursday 25 April 2013 ANZAC Day goes beyond the anniversary of the landing on Gallipoli in 1915. It is the day we remember all Australians who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations. The spirit of ANZAC, with its human qualities of courage, mateship, and sacrifice, continues to have meaning and relevance for our sense of national identity.

This source is extremely useful. It helped me to understand the spirit of the ANZAC and the qualities of both the Spirit and the Legend.

This was a really helpful site when it came to understanding what Anzac Day is about. I found out alot about why it is we celebrate Anzac Day, reasons that I was not even aware of (which was really good to put into my report) ENJOY

This booklet really helped me to understand further the legend and landings at Gallipoli as well as supplying me with quotes to use throughout my speech.
