EVERY year since 1946, The Caloundra RSL Sub Branch has conducted a commemorative Remembrance Day service on 11 November.
Sub Branch President Ian Harrison said the day was dedicated to honouring the service and sacrifices of the men and women of the Australian Defence Force who have served across the globe.
“While the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month marks the anniversary of the Armistice that ended fighting with Germany in World War I, it is a time for us to remember all who have given their lives in service, including in wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations,” Mr Harrison said.
The 2024 Caloundra Remembrance Day ceremony will include the laying of wreaths, the playing of the Last Post, and the observance of a minute’s silence at 11am.
RSL Queensland stands alongside veterans and their families across the country and recognises the invaluable contribution of Army, Navy and Air Force personnel.
Caloundra Service timings are as follows:
10:20am – Veterans march steps off from the Caloundra RSL Services Club Function Centre Carpark heading to the Sub Branch Memorial Gardens.
10:30am – Service commences.
Following the Service – Light refreshments will be served in the Sub Branch Lounge.
