Next Monday, 11/11/2024, Remembrance / Veterans Day, the Post will be laying wreaths at both the State War Memorial in King’s Park and the Fremantle War Memorial. Most of the ceremonies start at 10:30am so arrive early.
Our Chaplain, James Maughmer will be at King’s Park, while I will be at Fremantle. Please come along and help us fly the flag. I need a volunteer, or two to hold the flags in Fremantle.
If you can't make it to Fremantle or King's park go to your local war memorial.
