Remembrance Day was originally called 'Armistice Day', and 2 minutes of silence was observed for the first time at 11 am on 11 November 1919 to remember those who had died.
Prime Minister Billy Hughes said at the time:
Of their deeds it is not necessary for me to speak. Of their valour, endurance and resource at Gallipoli, Pozieres, Baupaume and other famous fields, men still speak with awe.
Hughes put our soldiers' sacrifice into perspective when he added:
Our heritage, our free institutions of government - all that we hold dear - are handed back into our keeping, stained with the blood of sacrifice. Surely not only we, their fellow citizens, but Australians throughout the ages, will treasure forever the memories of those glorious men to whom the Commonwealth owes so much, and will guard with resolute determination the privileges for which they fought and suffered.
After World War II, the Australian Government agreed to the United Kingdom's proposal to rename Armistice Day to 'Remembrance Day', to commemorate and remember those who were killed in both World Wars. Today, we remember the loss of Australian lives from all wars and conflicts.
In 1918, Australia made a promise never to forget the service and sacrifice of 416,000 Australians who enlisted and over 60,000 who died. For over 100 years, we have kept this promise. We remember them still.

Good luck to all those who purchased horses, and thanks to all that purchased tickets with a huge amount raised for the RSLs Veterans welfare programs.
Special thanks to our resident MC, Gil. Always someone that stands up and helps out when we need.

'When You Go Home, Tell Them Of Us And Say,
For Your Tomorrow, We Gave Our Today.'
7213 Private Harry Conway
As custodians of the memory of Australians at War, the RSL has an obligation to ensure the remembrance of those who made the ultimate sacrifice is never forgotten, something we take seriously.
Harry Conway, a young private who served valiantly in World War 1, is remembered through a poignant memorial that now finds its home at the Montmorency Eltham RSL. His cross, a symbol of sacrifice and valour, was discovered under sombre circumstances, yet it stands today as a beacon of remembrance and respect. The journey of Harry's Cross from the battlefields to its current resting place is a testament to the enduring legacy of those who fought for our freedoms.
To be officially unveiled on Remembrance Day, the RSL is very honoured to have the significant military memorabilia permanently located at the RSL. This is an extremely rare piece of Australia’s history and allows all visitors to view and remember Harry’s sacrifice.
This project could not have been achieved without the very generous funding by the Vietnam Veterans Association of Australia (Victoria Branch), led by their President and one the RSL members, Bob Elworthy.
Also, our wonderful Memorabilia team led by Pete Randle and Paul McColl whose diligent work and research has helped make this come about.
We also must thank Graeme Funnell, finder of the cross for making sure the cross got to the RSL. Harold and Sherril Muir who had Harrys Memorial Plaque and passed that onto the Yarra Glen RSL. The Yarra Glen RSL for permanently loaning the Plaque to us to enable the display to be complete.
We thank Nick McCallum and Channel 7 News for this report that aired Sunday night.

Remembrance Day is one of the most important days on our commemorative calendar. It's a day when we acknowledge those who died while serving in wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations.
Remembrance Day is held on 11 November each year. This is the anniversary of the Armistice that ended fighting with Germany in World War I. People in Australia, and many other countries, observe 1 minute's silence at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month because that's when the Armistice came into effect. It's a time to honour our service personnel who died in service of Australia.
The Montmorency Eltham RSL will be conducting our Remembrance Day Service at the RSL in front of the Remembrance Garden commencing at 1030am. We invite all members and supporters of the RSL to attend.
Commemoration and remembrance are a very important part of the RSL and we ask all to give their time to honour those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.
