D'day Tony
Re RSL, read British Legion. It was origonally the Returned Soldiers, Sailors and Airmans Imperial League of Australia, quite a mouth full, however it is now the Returned and Services League. They have a very nice club rooms and museum at the next town to me about 5 mins away in the car. We have an ANZAC Day march and service there each year followed by drinks eats and two up. We get about 1000 people at the service. The whole town stops and the police stop the traffic so that the march can cross the Highway.
There is also a Remembrance Day service at the War Memorial in Belgrave on 11 Novenber, we do them both but 11/11 is a much smaller function.
The local sub branch (official designation) is about to receive a Leopad tank to go in the grounds out side the museum. Hows that.
All for now
Cheers
Phil.
