ARMISTICE DAY
FOURTEENTH ANNIVERSARY
Armistice Day ceremonies were very quiet in this district this year.
At Creswick, a number of residents gathered to lay wreaths on the memorial column and a poppy wreath was placed thereon by the Mayor on behalf of the Borough.
On the memorial column at Kingston, the Shire President, placed wreath on behalf of the Shire.
At Dean School, in the absence of the parents, the headmaster, Mr. C. Potts, took the chair and explained the significance of the day. He introduced Mr. E. Warren, an ex pupil of the school and an ex president of the Newlyn branch of the R.S.S.I.L.A. who presented, on behalf of his branch, the wreath which was hung on the school honour roll. (it is the custom of the Newlyn branch to present a wreath each year to one school in the district). He exhorted the children to remember not only the men who came back but especially those who did not. After the two minutes’ silence had been observed, the Last Post and the Reveille were sounded. Mr. E. G. Lay, secretary of the Newlyn branch was also present.
