WE WILL REMEMBER THEM
Territorians commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I
REMEMBRANCE Day has arrived and 100 years after World War I came to an end, Australians will stop and remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice or served in war.
Australian Army Cadet Corporal Adrian Shanks is on his own journey to help protect Australia’s future in his training at Larrakeyah base and currently leads a cadet section in their training.
He said Remembrance Day brought him, and all members of society, closer to each other in honouring all who have fallen – not just those in World War I.
“I had an ancestor who went to Gallipoli and being able to take part in Remembrance Day means a lot, it means I feel closer to the people who died at Gallipoli,” he said.
“The thing that makes the day special is pretty much it means everyone is coming together to remember, we’re not divided on the day — we’re becoming one to remember the soldiers that gave their lives.”
Services at Palmerston’s Memorial Park, the Adelaide River War Cemetery, the Darwin Cenotaph and the North Darwin RSL will commence at 10.30am to commemorate the end of World War I.
