Lest We Forget Remembrance Service Springvale Botanical Cemetery

The choir was once again involved in this annual service which, this year, also marked the start of World War Two. Proceedings were directed by MC Col. Jason Cooke, prayers led by Chaplain Mark Dunn AAC and the address given by Col. Michelle Campbell who spoke about the importance of women and families during war and peacetime.

Accompanied by the City of Greater Dandenong Band, the choir led the singing of O Valiant Hearts, Abide With Me, O God Our Help In Ages Past and Advance Australia Fair. As the service finished, the Band played a medley of wartime favourite tunes which choristers naturally sang along to.

Amongst other participants who came up to thank the band and the choir for their involvement was ex-chorister Eric Billingham and wife Ruth, and Bill Shorten.
