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 places like the CFA.
