Spring clean ahead of Remembrance Day
MEMBERS of the Malanda RSL sub-branch and the Malanda Men’s Shed worked shoulder to shoulder to spring clean the Eacham Memorial Gates ahead of its Remembrance Day service on Friday.
Malanda’s service will commence at 10.30 am with president of the Malanda RSL sub-branch commander in the Royal Australian Navy, Christine Reghenzani.
Prayers will be lead by Deacon Alban Hunt and there will be a recital of a story about a young Australian who enlisted as a horse-handler and driver in World War I.
Malanda State High, Malanda Primary and Butchers Creek Primary will all have students taking part which will each read a paragraph of “In Flanders Fields” by John Mccrae.
