Descendants of WWII & Post WWII Association

Well another ANZAC Day over! I have to say it was great that finally this year it did not rain compared to previous years. This year we had our largest contingent Marching with over 150 Members we seem to be growing every year.

On behalf of the Committee I would like to welcome all our new Members that joined this year and especially Jack Vidgen, for those that are unaware Jack won the 2011 Australia's Got Talent. Jack Marched for his Great Grandfather it is great to see more young Australians getting envolved in the Association and want to honor their forefather.

Make sure you checkout the photo gallery with all the pictures from the day.

Soon the ABC will be releasing a DVD of the ANZAC Day March there will be more details posted on the site when it is released for you to purchase on the ABC Website.

The Committee Members and Members attended the Ashfield RSL Sub Branch Anzac Commemoration Service onSunday the 22nd April, 2012 We were treated to a perfect day compared to the previous years. With over 200 people attending the event our Secretary Bradley Sharpe laid a wreath at the Cenotaph on behalf of theAssociation.

At the end of the Commemoration we formed up to March 1.8kms back to Ashfield RSL. Where they put on a great afternoon with food and drinks a great time was had by all.

I attended the March Participants Meeting which was held on Thursday 10th March not much to say other than we are still forming up in the same position as last year and will start Marching about the same time as last year as well. Because of the School Hollidays there will not be as many Bands as the previous years on ANZAC Day.
