Remembrance Day 2021 at Warrigal Stirling

“To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die” - Thomas Campbell.

RSL Woden Valley Sub Branch was honoured to be invited to Warrigal Stirling to be part of their commemoration for Remembrance Day 2021, a day to remember the end of World War One and all those who have served to defend our country.

The service arranged by the staff at Warrigal, with General Manager, Kim Bradshaw showing appreciation on behalf of the residents for our participation. The information and moving words by Peter Eveille touched the audience who, after the service added their own stories of loved ones that served. Kenneth Cartwright laid a wreath in memory of all those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. Kevin recited the ode on the eleventh hour. The poem “In Flanders Fields” by John McCrae was read by Malcolm, one of the residents with Rania Kalimeris reading the answer:

”Fear not that you have died for nought;

The torch you threw to us we caught!

And now our hands will hold it high,

Its glorious light shall never die.

We’ll not break faith with you who lie on many a field.”

A time to reflect, remember, to show our respect and appreciation for those who fought for our freedom.

Many thanks to Woden Valley Sub Branch for supporting our Veterans and Families on Remembrance Day 2021
