The fully updated and renovated Memorial Wall at Vasey RSL Care Frankston South was completed just in time for ANZAC Day.
After almost two years, residents, visitors, volunteers and staff at Frankston South can now see the names of our veterans on the honour boards.
The majority of the funding for this project was received from the state government’s ‘Victoria Remembers’ Grants Program, a funding program that supports groups and organisations across the state to maintain, renovate and develop memorials to those who have served.
“This project was instigated by our residents,” said Jane Jones, Residential Manager at Frankston South. “Residents were hoping for two new features – an eternal flame and the emblems of the Australian Defence Forces. I think we have achieved that and more with the new design. It is professional and contemporary while maintaining strong links to our heritage. The response has been very positive.”
A short private ceremony to dedicate the Memorial Wall was held for veteran residents on 22 April and an official opening will be held at a future date when the situation permits.
