The service preceded an evening ceremony at Horsham’s Anzac Centenary Bridge, which highlighted the significance of the ‘with the going down of the sun’ portion of the League Ode.
Horsham RSL president Don Pirouet said attendance numbers showed Remembrance Day traditions would remain strong, particularly with Horsham’s continued incorporation of younger generations into commemorations to ensure there were people to ‘carry the traditions forward’.
As part of an effort to keep veterans’ legacies alive, Member for Western Victoria Jaala Pulford also announced Ararat Legacy would receive $2500 for a remembrance project in Ararat schools, with Yarriambiack Shire Council and Rupanyup RSL sub-branch to receive $9000 for Rupanyup RSL Hall repairs.
