Remembrance Day is this Friday 11 November and a number of RSL’s and community groups are hosting services to honour those who fought and died in war.
The Warburton RSL Sub-Branch will commemorate Remembrance Day at a service at the Warburton Cenotaph. The community is invited to join all veterans, their families and descendants in the park surrounding the memorial from 10.30am.
At 11am the service will end with the traditional silence, remembering all those who have lost their lives in the service of our country up to the present day.
Pupils from the Warburton Primary School will take part, reading a poem and lowering and raising the flags. Refreshments will be served after the service in the park, depending on the weather. After the recent wind storms, drenching rains and floods, they hope it will be a moment for all of us to gather together in peace and harmony.
Thank you to all those who are supporting the Poppy Appeal.
The Seville War Memorial near the Seville Water Play Park on the corner of Warburton Highway and Monbulk-Seville Road will begin a service at 10.45am.
The guest speaker is Ian Douglas who will be talking about his uncle Arthur Douglas who is listed on the memorial.
Millgrove residents can attend a service at the Millgrove Cenotaph at 11am
Both the Millgrove and East Warburton campuses of the Millwarra Primary School will be in attendance.
The Rotary Club of Wandin will be hosting a service at the Wandin War Memorial from 11am.
