The Epping RSL has been busy preparing a moving tribute to honour Australians who served and sacrificed in wars and conflicts across generations.
In the lead-up to Remembrance Day on November 11, the RSL welcomed helping hands from local children at St Catherine’s Primary School in Lalor and the young learners from Little Assets Early Learning Centre in South Morang.
They joined veterans and Defence Force members to lay hundreds of handmade memorial crosses in the RSL’s garden of remembrance.
On Thursday 6 November, Privates Lock, Perrott, Broughton, Al-Kalaney, Haddock and Cotter, along with Sergeant Heverin from Simpson Barracks, visited Epping RSL to take part in the preparations.
The crosses, each crafted by veterans and later adapted by the RSL’s staff and volunteers, serve as a powerful symbol of respect for those who served Australia in wars and peacekeeping missions.
