Those who wish to lay a private wreath are encouraged and advised to please observe social distancing rules. Lest We Forget.

19.01.2022 As many will now be aware, because of the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions the Inverell RSL Sub Branch (sadly) will not be conducting any of our usual ANZAC Day services or events. When times are tough, Australians have always relied on the distinctive qualities of mateship, humor, ingenuity, courage and endurance to get us through. Known as the ANZAC Spirit, these five qualities have defined Australians ever since the first troops landed on the beaches of Gallipoli in Worl...d War I. There’s no doubt that ANZAC Day 2020 will be very different to ANZAC Days of previous years. While we will not be gathering at services or marches, there are still ways to acknowledge ANZAC Day and ensure Australian servicemen and women are appropriately remembered. 1. Record yourself reciting the ode or sharing a message of support for veterans. Respond Going to our ANZAC Day 2020 Facebook event. Then use the hashtag #ANZACSpirit and share how you’ll be commemorating privately, as well as who you’ll be remembering this ANZAC Day. 2. Light up the dawn. At 6am on ANZAC Day, go to the end of your driveway or stand on your balcony and listen to a brief commemorative service. Together even while apart we’ll remember those who served and sacrificed. You can sign the pledge to light up the dawn at rslanzacspirit.com.au 3. Tune into live services and virtual commemorative services. In Inverell STA.FM (91.9) will be broadcasting a Dawn Service at 6am and then an 11am Commemorative Service. The ABC will be broadcasting a 5.30am service from the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. There will also be a 10am service from the Anzac Memorial in Sydney that will be broadcast on ABC and streamed live. 4. Reach out to a mate who might be alone. Many people are alone during this time of isolation. It’s an opportunity to invoke the ANZAC value of mateship and check to see how a mate is doing. We at the Sub Branch also encourage everybody to take a minute during the day to stop and remember ALL those who have served our nation present, past and future - some paying the ultimate sacrifice to make our country the great nation that it is.
