What is the difference between🌹Remembrance Day🌹 and 🌿ANZAC Day? 🌿

Australia has two major commemorative days for those who have served our country: ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day. While they share many similarities, they have a few key differences.

Well said Poppy Project and thank you the work you do! Very thankful to be a recipient of funding under this program. This will enable us to clean the Cenotaph and ensure it continues to receive the care demanded by such an important memorial to our fallen. The Boer War memorial will also receive a long overdue clean. The actual work will commence once all the admin is completed. Thank you to the NSW Government, David Harris MP, Merril & Gary Jackson and Central Coast Council Heritage group for supporting this important work.

Minister for Veterans David Harris MP today announced 28 grants awarded to support conservation advice and works to 48 memorials from across 25 local government areas.

The grants will help to preserve these important memorials and ensure the service and sacrifice of veterans continue to be honoured by communities across New South Wales for generations to come.

Gosford RSL Sub Branch will be holding the usual service at the Cenotaph, Memorial Park, Gosford. Recommended that you plan to arrive at 1030.

Why do we pause at 11am on Remembrance Day?

The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month marks the moment the Armistice came into effect in 1918, ending fighting with Germany in the First World War.

Each year, we pause for one minute of silent reflection in memory of those who died in service.

Speak up if you can. The government needs a wake up call… Don’t sell off heritage defence sites to make the numbers look better!
