A DAY TO REMEMBER

Anzac Day 2023 in Mount Morgan was certainly a day to remember with some changes to both the services.

The Mount Morgan State High School and Mount Morgan Central State School commemorated the day with simultaneous services on 24 April.

High School Leaders focussed their presentation on the young boys who joined up, some without parents before the age of consent, the majority of who did not return.

On Tuesday, 25 April, over 100 Mount Morgan

Don related four stories of service through various objects - a photograph of his grandfather, an ash tray made from a three inch anti-aircraft shell, pack and webbing from the Vietnam War and the floppy hat and arm band he wore during peacekeeping operation in Bougainville. The Dawn Service was followed by the Gunfire Breakfast and then the Anzac Day Parade where the address was given by Captain Philip Bell, form the 31st/42nd RQR. Captain Bell spoke about the sacrfice of those who served and that the service is about remembering the sacrifice not glorifying war.

The names of all Mount Morgan men who served were read throughout the two services.

This year the Last Post and Reveille were played on a trombone by Andrew MacLean who has recently relocated to Mount Morgan. Pastor Justin Morgan said the prayer at both services.

A new flag pole donated by the Rotary Club of Mount Morgan was dedicated on 24 April, following the Anzac Day service. The Flag Pole was dedicated to the memory of Mr Abbie Rowe, a long-serving Rotarian. Pictured above Mr Craig Edmonston and Dan Petersen (High School Principal).
