Remembrance Day 2026
It was worth the wait, but here is a wonderful record of the Montmorency-Eltham RSL Sub-Branch Remembrance Day service.
It is always humbling to take the time to recognise those Australians, New Zealanders, and allied troops who served our nation in times of conflict, and remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice and never returned home to their loved ones.
We were fortunate to have a significant number of community leaders attend our service, and equally, the support and attendance from several of our primary schools reinforced that we have a generational commitment to commemorating service and sacrifice.
Finally, an enormous thank you also to the City Of Melbourne Highland Pipe Band who always provide us with amazing support by adding such an iconic sound to our services. ... See MoreSee Less

A BIG THANK YOU TO OUR VOLUNTEERS! ๐น
A heartfelt thank you to all of our wonderful volunteers who generously gave their time to sell poppies in the lead-up to Remembrance Day as part of the Poppy Appeal.
The funds raised play an important role in supporting our veterans and their families, providing much-needed assistance to those who have served our country.
We wouldn't be able to raise as much funds without the dedication and generosity of our volunteers. Thank you for giving up your time, supporting such a worthy cause and helping us make a difference. โค๏ธ

REMEMBRANCE DAY
There will be no bands playing triumphant tunes, drums beating the cadence, no veterans proudly marching, no crowds bursting into spontaneous applause for the diggers. No games of two up or rowdy reunions.
For this is Remembrance Day. A day of national mourning.
A day for our nation to unite in silence and to reflect with a collective mixture of profound sorrow and grateful thanks for the service and sacrifice of so many of our flowers of youth, lost to us forever.
No part of our nation is untouched. It seems that there is a memorial or an honour board in nearly every town, each bearing the names of locals who answered the call and died protecting our way of life.
On ANZAC Day we cheer them, on Remembrance Day we mourn and remember them.
May the words โLest We Forgetโ and โWe Will Remember Themโ resonate across Australia. And may this line from โIn Flanders Fieldsโ by John McRae remind us of the debt we owe them this and every Remembrance Day:
โIf Ye break faith with us who die,
We will not sleep though poppies grow in Flanders fieldsโ.
We extend an invitation to our members and whole community to join us at the Montmorency Eltham RSL in our Remembrance Garden to commemorate Remembrance Day on Wednesday 11 Nov starting at 1030am. All welcome.

Today, our community gathered at the historic Kangaroo Ground War Memorial Park for a particularly significant occasion. The Remembrance Day Service and the rededication of the Tower of Remembrance marked 100 years since its original dedication on 11 November 1926.
First dedicated in honour of those who served during the Great War, the Tower has stood for a century as a lasting symbol of service, sacrifice and remembrance. Today's rededication reaffirmed its enduring purpose: to honour all Australians who have served our nation in times of war, conflict and instability, and especially those who never returned.
The ceremony included the unveiling of a new commemorative plaque by Kate Thwaites MP, Cindy McLeish MP, and Anna Pelling, President of the Friends of Kangaroo Ground War Memorial Park, followed by the formal rededication conducted by an Australian Army Chaplain.
We were honoured to welcome a distinguished gathering of representatives, including Vicki Ward MP for Eltham, Mayor of Nillumbik Shire Council Naomi for Nillumbik, and Mayor Alison Champion of Banyule City Council, together with representatives of neighbouring RSL Sub-Branches, community organisations, local schools and the Australian Defence Force. We also welcomed Presidents from both Hurstbridge RSL Sub-Branch and Diamond Creek RSL.
A particularly meaningful contribution came from the students of Kangaroo Ground Primary School, whose participation reminded us of the importance of passing the responsibility of remembrance to future generations.
Our sincere appreciation goes to the Friends of Kangaroo Ground War Memorial Park, particularly President Anna Pelling and the dedicated volunteers whose commitment to preserving this historic place and its legacy is so important to our community. Their work ensures that the Tower of Remembrance remains not simply a monument to the past, but a living place of reflection, education and community connection.
The Montmorency-Eltham RSL Sub-Branch is proud to work alongside the Friends in supporting commemorative activities at this important memorial.
We also extend our thanks to everyone who contributed to today's service, including our ceremonial participants, local community organisations, volunteers and all those who attended to pay their respects.
