Kingston's ANZAC Service
Please join us for our Anzac Day Service on Tuesday 25 April. 
 
This year our guest speaker is Lucas Duffy, who is currently studying a double degree in Commerce and Finance at Monash University.
 
Lucas is the great grandson of John Thomas O’Connor, Tree West 32.  He is 19 years old - 3 years younger than John Thomas when he enlisted.  Although Lucas is a city kid living in inner Melbourne, he has visited Tree West 32 with his extended family every Anzac Day for as long as he can remember. Lucas is looking forward to speaking about his family’s connection to the Avenue. He is also looking forward to attending the Dawn Service in Creswick.
 
Please assemble at 8.30am for the 9am Service at the Cenotaph, corner of Victoria and Kingston Roads.  Our Service will conclude at 9.30am to allow time for people to travel to the Creswick Service. You are welcome to stay for morning tea.

Ode of Remembrance

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them
