Remembrance Day
Cindy McLEISH (Eildon) (10:41): Hurstbridge RSL celebrates their 85th year this year and put on a moving Remembrance Day service at the local memorial, thanks to local branch members, secretary Adam Foley and new president Christopher Warren, taking over from Gerard Flannigan. The Hurstbridge Scout group were out in force, and the community also got to hear the poem In Flanders Fields ably delivered by Hurstbridge Primary School students Ella Castelluccio and Charlotte Franklin. A fitting note concluded the service:
When you go home
Tell them of us and say
For your tomorrow
We gave our today.
At Kangaroo Ground the following day, the solemn air rang with the tunes from a piper and bugler. The service featured the poem We Shall Keep the Faith read by Kangaroo Ground Primary School students Ella, Heidi and Jack. Well done to them.
