Remembrance Day
Bronwyn HALFPENNY (Thomastown) (13:39): 11 November, Remembrance Day, was yesterday, and at the eleventh hour at the Epping RSL I joined with many to mark Remembrance Day. I would like to acknowledge and thank Epping RSL president Kevin Innes for his leadership; Mr Glenn Parker, who conducted the formalities; students Oliver and Cooper from Harvest Home Primary School, who recited In Flanders Fields; and also veteran Peter Duncombe, who spoke really well. We also heard the immortal recital from the late Ken Jeffery of TheFinal Inspection. He was a former member of the Epping RSL who passed away some years ago, but all remember him and his great contribution to the service as well as to groups like the CFA.
