Local Remembrance Day commemorations

Lest we forget

Remembrance Day is commemorated in towns, cities and local communities across Australia at 11am on November 11 when Australians are encouraged to pause for a minute’s silence and remember all those who have suffered and died in wars, conflicts and peace keeping operations.

We mark Remembrance Day because it was at this time and date in 1918 that the guns fell silent on the Western Front, officially ending the First World War.

Locally there are a number of events taking place to coincide with Remembrance Day including a number of services organised by our RSL sub branches.
