Remembrance Day Marked at Vasey RSL Care

11 November 2016: the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month marks the anniversary of the agreement to end World War I. The agreement went into effect at this time in 1918, marking victory for the Allies and defeat for Germany. From this point it took a further six months of negotiations to conclude the Treaty of Versailles.

This important occasion was marked with services at each of the Vasey RSL Care residential homes, as well as at Cheltenham Independent Living Units, and at the Hawthorn Independent Living Units together with Central Office.

We were honoured to have members of the Australian Defence Forces from HMAS Cerberus and Simpson Barracks present, to give addresses and lay wreaths in memory of fallen comrades.
