🌺 ANZAC Day 2026 🌺

Today, members of the unit proudly supported cenotaph guard duties at both the dawn service and the 11am service in Longford, with the 11am Longford service attended by Her Excellency the Honourable Barbara Baker AC, Governor of Tasmania. At the same time, the remainder of the unit participated in the main ANZAC Day march and 11am service in Launceston.

We are extremely proud to have supported ANZAC Day commemorations across our local communities and to stand alongside our local RSLs in remembering and honouring those who have served, and those who continue to serve.

Lest we forget. 🇦🇺🇳🇿
