Anzac toursBuglers from Ypres, Belgium, sound "The Last Post" at the town's Menin Gate.

As Australians, and much of the Western world, pause for Remembrance Day (Nov 11) this weekend, it?s an appropriate time to consider the many stunning international tours available to mark Anzac Day 2013 (April 25).

We take a look at six sites around the world, where specialist trips enable travelers to pay their respects at dawn services on Anzac Day and where history casts a shadow of battles long past.
