Remembrance Service

RSL Victoria Annual State Remembrance Service

Springvale Botanical Cemetery, Sunday 5 November 2023The choir was pleased to return to Springvale Botanical Cemetery for the sixteenth time since 2004.The audience was again smaller than in the past. Some thought this might be because Melbourne Cup Day was only 2 days later, and some people were taking a long weekend.State President Dr Robert Webster OAM led proceedings, aided by Chaplain John Raike.  Later in the service, Mr Robert Krog gave the main address.The City of Greater Dandenong Band provided the musical accompaniment and combined with Vic Welsh who led the singing in O God Our Help In Ages Past, Abide With Me and the National Anthem.Lest We Forget
