Warburton RSL Sub-Branch will once again hold its traditional march and service to commemorate ANZAC Day on 25 April.

There is set to be a guest speaker; author, actor and member of the RAAF Reserve, Squadron Leader Michael Veitch. Michael has published 11 books, eight on war history.

Veterans, their families and descendants are invited to join the march to the cenotaph and are asked to gather at the Sub-Branch clubrooms at 3325 Warburton Hwy, Warburton by 10.30am.

The march will be led by members of the Australian Cadet Unit and they will form the catafalque party at the cenotaph. CFA and local schools will take part as well as other community groups.

Because of Covid, it has been two long years since the RSL has been able to show their respect for veterans, past and present and they hope local residents will join them.
