Remembrance Day 2022
In spite of overcast skies and threatening inclement weather there was a good turnout for the Remembrance Day Ceremony, held in Memorial Park ,The Gap. The Sub-Branch President, Mr David Esler welcomed all and delivered a brief history of the origin and significance of Remembrance Day. The most pleasing feature was the strong support from the local schools. School Captains and Leadership Teams from The Gap State High School as well the The Gap State School and St Peter Chanel, Mt Nebo State School, Hilder Road and Payne Road State Schools were all represented by school captains, leaders and staff who participated and laid wreaths with a solemnity that befits the occasion. The Gap State High School Captains recited the poem, “In Flanders’ Fields” with great sensitivity. It is reassuring to see the Veterans more than balanced by those who follow in their footsteps, the younger generations who represent Australia’s future. We are grateful to Pastor Gary Rucci for his contribution to the occassion. Members of The Gap RS Sub-Branch wish all their friends and supporters a Happy Christmas and a Better New Year.
