Members of the public are invited and welcome to join the sub branch as members come together to remember the sacrifice of those who have died for Australia in wars and conflicts.

At 11am on November 11, 1918 the guns of the Western Front fell silent after more than four years of continuous warfare.

After the end of World War II, the Australian and British governments changed the name to Remembrance Day, a title that is more appropriate for a day when we commemorate all dead.

The service will involve the Army Cadets and students from Weddin schools.

The RSL will hold a luncheon at the bowling club from 12 30pm with the announcement of the Grenfell Cadet Platoon’s Cadet of the Year being made.

Guest speaker this year will be Captain Emily Douglas.

Bookings are essential for catering purposes. Names are required by November 5 to Margaret Knight 6343 2120 or 0428634321 mnight42@bigpond.com or John Commins on 63432863 or 0419481147 barbara.commins@bigpond.com
