Today is a special day where we pause to remember those who went to war and fought for our country and the freedom we all enjoy today. Lest we forget. We attended the service mid morning in town with a very large crowd.
Our grandfathers fought in the wars. My Grandfather in the 2nd world war and Peter's in the 1st world war.
This is Peter's grandfather in his uniform and the photo was taken in 1915. He served in the Australian Imperial Forces 32 Battalion 8th Brigade, it is believed much of his time was spent in France.
This my grandfather in his uniform and the photo was taken in 1942. He did overseas service in the 2/2 Battalion in New Guinea and Borneo and was not discharged until 1946.
Wreaths which were laid at our local was memorial.
