Photos from our Were Street March and ANZAC Day Family Service
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the hundreds of people who gathered and marched with us at this year's ANZAC Day services.
Your presence created a truly moving and powerful tribute, reminding us all of the deep respect and gratitude we owe to those who have served — and continue to serve — our nation. It was inspiring to witness our community come together in such strong numbers, united in remembrance and reflection.
Your participation helped to honour the sacrifices of those who came before us and to show unwavering support for the men and women who still stand in service today.
Thank you for helping to keep the spirit of ANZAC alive.

Another great service by the incredible team at Montmorency Eltham RSL 🙌✨️
With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children
England mourns for her dead across the sea,
Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit,
Fallen in the cause of the free.
Solemn the drums thrill: Death august and royal
Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres,
There is music in the midst of desolation
And glory that shines upon our tears.
They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow,
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
They mingle not with their laughing comrades again,
They sit no more at familiar tables of home,
They have no lot in our labour of the daytime,
They sleep beyond England's foam.
But where our desires and hopes profound,
Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight,
To the innermost heart of their own land they are known
As the stars are known to the night.
As the stars shall be bright when we are dust,
Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain,
As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness,
To the end, to the end, they remain. ... See MoreSee Less

Australians and New Zealanders commemorate ANZAC Day on 25 April every year. This is the anniversary of the day when Australian and New Zealand soldiers landed on Gallipoli in 1915 as part of the Allies' invasion. ANZAC Day draws large crowds of people to the dawn services, and marches are held around the country.
ANZAC Day is a time for all Australians to recognise the more than 1.5 million service men and women who have served our country in all conflicts, wars and peacekeeping operations. It's also a time to remember the over 103,000 Australians who sacrificed their lives in our country's name.
Eltham Dawn Service – Eltham Cenotaph 6am
The first commemorative event of ANZAC Day is the Dawn Service at 4.30am. This is about the time men of the ANZAC approached the Gallipoli beach. However, the origin is the traditional ‘stand-to’, in which troops would be woken so that by the first rays of dawn they were in position and alert, in case of an enemy attack in the eerie half-light. It is a ritual and a moment remembered by many veterans.
Some debate exists about the first Dawn Service. Nevertheless, early dawn services such as that held in 1923 at Albany, Western Australia, conducted by the Reverend Arthur White—Rector of St John’s Church, and formerly a Padre with the 44th Battalion on the Western Front—were the forerunners of the modern tradition.
The Eltham Dawn Service is a tradition that is growing in turnout that includes two large screen TVs for attendees to be able to easily view the service. Please try and arrive well before the 6am start time and afterwards drop into the Eltham Football Club for Breakfast ran by the Junior Club with all proceeds going towards the RSL or visit all the wonderful cafes in Eltham that open early specifically for the day.
Montmorency ANZAC Day March – Were St Montmorency 10am
From cities to small towns, the march has long been the centrepiece of ANZAC Day. Marches were held during the Great War, and became popular with veterans in the 1920s, to honour lost friends and publicly express comradeship. The RSL organises the marches. While it was traditional for veterans who saw active service, it was later relaxed to include those who served in Australia in the armed services or ‘land armies’ during the Second World War. It has been relaxed further, with encouragement and acceptance of children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren marching, to assist aged veterans or to represent relatives. Former soldiers from allied armies have also been allowed to march.
The Montmorency March is also growing and will include our wonderful local first responders. Step off is 10am so please get there early if you wish to march.
Montmorency Eltham RSL ANZAC Day Community Service 1030am
In towns and cities across Australia and around the world, Australians attend services to:
• salute the service and sacrifice of the men and women who have worn our country's uniform
• recognise the men and women who are currently serving overseas
• acknowledge the impact this has on them and their family and friends who remain at home
The service is a perfect way to commemorate at the conclusion of the march. With involvement from all local schools and activities afterwards we welcome all to attend.

Just spent a wonderful afternoon in your establishment. A wonderfull community based Anzac Day service, followed by a very friendly few hours upstairs communicating with fellow veterans. All was perfect until the start of the footy. Everyone in house was respectful of the minutes silence watching the screen, YET A COUPLE OF OF ADJACENT SCREENS WERE DISPLAYING HORSE RACING AND TAB ODDS - not at all responsible or appropriate as we remember the fallen.
If you're planning on attending the Were Street March at 10am on ANZAC Day, please see the following layout to make sure you're lined up in the following designated section.
We would love to see all our community who are able, to march from Were street to Montmorency Eltham RSL's Family Service opposite Petrie Park that starts at 10.30am.

Wonderful community work by the Eltham Junior Football Club who sacrifice a lot of time and effort to not only give attendees something nice to eat after the Dawn Service but to donate all proceeds to the RSL to help us continue our Welfare programs.
We urge all visitors attending the ANZAC Day Dawn Service to wonder down to the Club and grab a nice breaky roll and coffee.#ejfc #gunfirebreakfast #anzacday ... See MoreSee Less
