 Following World War II, the 1920 Act was repealed and replaced with the Anzac Day Act 1949.The day became one of commemoration of the part taken by New Zealand servicemen and women in the Second World War and the Boer War as well as World War I, and in memory of "those who gave their lives for New Zealand and the British Empire or Commonwealth of Nations".It also banned employers from transferring their employees' Anzac Day holiday or holiday pay to another day.
