Though the sun rose beyond clouds, over 1,000 people from the community got up early to greet the dawn at Brunswick Heads today, to comemorate the 109th anniversary of the landing of the ANAZACs at Gallipoli.

Though recently the membership of the Brunswick Heads–Billinudgel RSL sub-Branch has grown, the numbers are still very low and if there is not a continual increase, this chapter faces closing.

Men are notorious for being completely in the dark about the state of their health with 41,000 Australian men dying of heart disease each year.

Each year on 18 August, Vietnam Veterans’ Day and the anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan, Australians pause to reflect on the service and sacrifice of those who served during the Vietnam War.

Last Saturday was the 102nd anniversary of the death of Private Patrick Bugden. Budgen was killed in action in the battle of Polygon Wood in Belgium so it was only fitting that the date was chosen to unveil a bronze bust modelled on his likeness as a representation of all of the young men who died overseas at the hand of war.
