The service, which was conducted by Nashos Mike Coombes included the playing of Reville and the Last Post followed by a minute’s silence and the raising of the Australian flag.

Wreaths were laid by family members and Returned Servicemen in honour of those that served during war from within the Boorowa area whose names are remembered on the War Memorial.

St Patrick’s bells rang out as the minute’s silence concluded.

Remembrance Day also known as Poppy Day, Armistice Day (the event it commemorates) or Veterans Day is a day to commemorate and honour the sacrifices of members of the armed forces and of civilians in times of war, specifically since the First World War.

At 11 am onNovember 11, 1918 the guns of the Western Front fell silent after more than four years continuous warfare.

The allied armies had driven the German invaders back, having inflicted heavy defeats upon them over the preceding four months.

In November the Germans called for an armistice (suspension of fighting) in order to secure a peace settlement. They accepted the allied terms of unconditional surrender.

The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month attained a special significance in the post-war years.

The moment when hostilities ceased on the Western Front became universally associated with the remembrance of those who had died in the war.

This year marked the 90th anniversary since the end of the First World War.

Lest We Forget.
