Dawn Service at Peaceful Bay (Pictures courtesy Helen Webster)

After several days of much needed rain, threatening clouds on the morning of ANZAC Day did not pose a problem to the organisers. What an event it was in Walpole. We were again privileged to receive a salute from the RAAF prior to our commemoration and the sight of the four PC9s approaching from the south-east and then flying overhead was thoroughly enjoyed by

the many people who had gathered at the Memorial. This year’s march was possibly the best attended so far in Walpole, with Ex-Service personnel, representatives of volunteer organisations and members of the public, including quite a few youngsters.

beat of drums by Doug Simpson and his youngest daughter, Anabelle. New to proceedings too was our local Senior Constable, Aaron Mathews as a flagbearer, alongside Walpole Sub Branch RSL member, Alan Barrington.

President of the Walpole Sub Branch RSL, Kevin Pierce, welcomed the large crowd gathered and spoke of the significance of the ANZAC and Gallipoli campaign, the profound impact it had and the powerful legacy it left us. Master of Ceremony, Harold Luxton, delivered the Prayer of Remembrance which highlighted the sacrifices of generations of service men and women and the qualities of mateship, courage and compassion of war service and all those who provide support in the quest for liberty and peace.

Wreaths and floral tributes were laid by Melva Lumb (Walpole Sub Branch RSL and on behalf of family members), Dave Tapley (Shire of Manjimup), Cheree Kirkwood and Denise Hunter (Walpole P and C),
