A legacy of service

FOR nearly 120 years, the Tatura RSL Sub-Branch has steadfastly supported local veterens and their families. Its mission is rooted in the belief that every veteren deserves to live with respect and dignity, while maintaining strong connections to both their community and fellow servicemen and women. 

Tatura RSL invite all to their special open day on October 27, 10am to 3pm, at the Senior Citizen Rooms (2 Memorial Place, Tatura), where you can explore displays of unique memorabilia and hear from local veterans. 

“We highly encourage everyone to tour the Robert Mactier Memorial Gardens, a peaceful place for reflection. The garden features plaques honouring over 1,000 locals who served in conflicts ranging from the Boer War to World War I, World War II, and Vietnam. Among those names, 600 served during World War II, when Tatura’s population was just 2,000,” said Tatura RSL president, Rod Schubert. 

The open day is a fantastic way to learn more about Tatura’s wartime efforts and about the RSL’s mission. New members are always welcome, including current or former service personnel, their families and community supporters. For further details, or if you’re interested in joining, please contact president Rod Schubert at 0419 924 610, or secretary, Mark Sommers at 0407 297 474. 

Tatura RSL is honoured to be part of Tatura’s 150th anniversary celebrations and look forward to welcoming you to their Open Day.
