Royal Australian Air Force pilot of 21 years, Bruce Grey (pictured), will be among the veterans and their families to gather at Craigieburn’s Anzac Park next Friday to honour those who served for their country.
The Craigieburn War Memorial and Remembrance Committee (CWMRC) will host a short Remembrance Day Service from 10.50am to 11.10am on November 11, giving the community an opportunity to pay tribute to those who lost their lives at war.
CWMRC president Kevin O’Callaghan said he expected 50 to 60 people to attend the service, which will include a minute’s silence at 11am.
Mr O’Callaghan said most of the attendees would be honouring parents who served in World War II.
CWMRC will host another service eight days later to mark the loss of HMAS Sydney II and the ship’s company of 645 men on November 19, 1941.
Mr O’Callaghan said there were three local families with connections to the ship.
That service will begin at 11am.
