“Remembrance is more than just looking back; it is the thread that weaves our past into the strength of our future.” – Unknown
COMMUNITIES across the region will once again gather this morning at cenotaphs and war memorials to mark the 108th Remembrance Day commemoration since the end of the First World War.
Veterans, RSL members, emergency services personnel, police, civic leaders, school students and community groups and members will join in a minute’s silence at 11am, followed by The Last Post and wreath-laying ceremonies.
Many attendees will wear red poppies as part of the RSL’s annual Poppy Appeal, which began in 1921 following the First World War. Funds raised through the appeal support veterans and their families through services including financial assistance, advocacy and wellbeing programs.
The ceremonies serve as a reminder of the sacrifices made by Australia’s servicemen and women, while also honouring the veterans who returned home from conflict.
