Stories from the Family Memorial Cross.

The tradition of the Field of Crosses started in Creswick in 1964

The stories of the Family Memorial Cross remember those men and women from who served during war time and whose families now live in Creswick & District and are remembered with these crosses.

Families can have a permanent cross in the Field of Crosses, with a $10 donation per cross, to the Field of Crosses Project. Complete the Family Memorial Cross form and email to "creswicksmeatonrsl@gmail.com" Payment can be deposited into BSB:633-000 Account:135320364. Reference: Surname - Cross

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
