Lone Pine planting at Creswick Cemetery

Creswick Cemetery Trust received a donation of a Lone Pine from the Cemetery and Crematoria Association of Victoria (CCAV)
​
Delegates from the CCAV Country Conference visited the Creswick Cemetery on the 16th May 2015 where the Lone Pine tree was planted at the Veterans Section.

The Creswick Light Horse paraded up the main driveway, Kieran Moore and Brendan O’Connor (CCAV President) planted the Lone Pine, while our local RSL organised the Flag Pole and Rev. Ryan Bennett of the Anglican Church kindly said a prayer for the fallen and re dedicated the Veteran’s area after the renovations.

Thank you must go to Tony Vanderkley from the Ballarat City Brass Band who played the last post.

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
